Default Carbon Fiber - Kevlar blend

Matt L says:

Has anyone worked with a carbon fiber/kevlar blend fabrics?
Not quite sure what to think of them.


For structural use, calculate using only the carbon, and assume the Kevlar (tm)
is just there to stop the boat disintegratring when hit hard. That usually
works unless you are trying ot really shave weight (at which point switch to
all carbon)
