Anyone have experience with or opinion of carbon-kevlar hull construction?
Does it have problems? Inpact resistant? Maintain its hull shape?
Delamination? Anything negative.
Carbon Kevlar is suitable for a very light kayak or canoe. However, if you want
a boat you don't have to baby at a lower price, a Kevlar model would be better.
The difference between fiberglass and Kevlar in a kayak or canoe is worth
considering - lighter and stronger if well constructed. The difference between
Kevlar and carbon-Kevlar is a higher price for a more fragile vessel. If you're
not racing, don't bother.
