In Response To: Re: Announce: all aluminum kayak (Charlie)
All, well and good, Charlie, but you are only stipulating a single speicification in a vast pantheon of design material possibilites and benefits. If a light boat is all that you are after, then what are you doing messing with a wooden boat? Carbon and/or Kevlar extracted from a mold will be far stiffer and far lighter.
Aluminum has a grouping of potent features on its side. All one needs is a design brief that brings that grouping into play and aluminum wins.
It would be wise to keep one's mind open to all the design/build possibilities out there if one expects to arrive at the best material for any given design brief.
