: Shawn Baker used cloth in some paddles he built. You might want to contact
: him to see how they fared with regard to durability.

Wow! Blast from the past! That was a long time ago. I think I made those paddles in 99? The blades were pretty durable, but I didn't build enough spine behind them to make them stiff enough, and they eventually snapped at the end of the shaft.
No problems with delamination, though.
(and I haven't laid up any paddle blades since then, since I got bit by the traditional paddling bug. I can't add much additional information beyond what is in the paddle pages)
