Take a look at Esquif Canoes, they have a new layup called Twin Tex. Supposed to be tough and light. http://www.esquif.com/en/index.php?mod=modeles&id=31 I paddled a TwinTex Zephyr last weekend for a few minutes. Fiberglass matrix in a polypropylene resin. Didn't have to carry it, so can't comment on the weight, but it's very flexible. Grab the gunwales (not while in a rapid, please) and you can pull them together about 4". The Zephyr is a little twitchy initially, but its secondary stability is phenomenal. The rail is pulled in about 2" from the widest point of the hull. Lay it over and you almost have a second hull under you. Steve |
