In Response To: Material: carbon fiber (george jung)

I used CF twill for my Outer Island coaming ... I wouldn't use it again ... I'd just use fiberglass and tint the resin. I don't think CF is necessary and I think fiberglass is easier to work with and it's cheaper too.

For the tower I used WRC strips.
