from a dealer in the UK if you live in the US can't be clever.


I'm in the UK...


Oh, sorry, my mistake. I know this is an international newsgroup and
all, but somewhere in your original posts I got the idea you were in
New York, Long Island maybe. Looking back, I see you once actually said
"I'll be canoeing along the South Coast of England." Duh. I really can
read. Really.

So anyhow, you'll be in the position to tell USAns what this Corelite
stuff is, as soon as you find out, 'cause I don't think there's any of
it over here. Or at least Google doesn't seem to know about it.

Although...and this will show how old I am, Hydra used to sell kayaks
made of a foam core polyethylene back in the 80's and early 90's. They
called it HardHull.


I believe that there were also a few Old Town kayak models that used a
polyethelene foam core layup.
