Anybody out there knowing anything about the use of Kevlar - and if it's
possible to reinforce a glassfiber hull with Kevlar? I'm planning several years of Circumnavigation. Honestly, I would prefer af cruising sailboat or motorsailer with at steel hull, but I do have to take both my economy and the relatively limited numbers of steel boats at approx. 35-45 feet into account... and will probably end up buying a glassfiber boat. One of the boats I'm interested in is a Fisher 37 - but, no matter how well it's constructed, it have a glassfiber hull. Despite good sailing and navigating skills there are also the possibility of a grounding, an encounter with a whale, a container and other 'debris' out there. That's why I'm interesting in Kevlar and its possible use - and limitations. Whether You yourself have any knowledge og Kevlar or 'just' know of relevant persons, homepages etc. I will be glad to hear from you. Beforehand thank you. Sincerely, Paul |
