Default Corelite (canoe hull material)


I'm looking at canoes made in the UK from a material called Corelite.
I'm having trouble finding information on the material except that it
is some kind of foam sandwiched between an inner and outer skin of
some kind of plastic. Dealers are calling it 'the new hull material'
etc. I'm wondering if it's a good material for canoe hulls. Obviously
the dealers will be quick to defend it if they are selling the
product, but does any end-user have any comments on its
durability/strength/practicality, etc?

TIA,

Al D
