[Paddlewise] Romany Explorer

    Has anyone had any experience with the Diolene lay-up for the Explorer?  
Certainly the HD lay-up is well respected for it's strength.  What kind of 
use would be inappropriate for the Diolene version?
    I'm relatively gentle with my boats but I tend to paddle in increasingly 
rougher conditions and I've exceeded the durability of my current Kevlar 
boat.  I like the idea of a lighter boat but I'd rather have a heavier boat 
that will last than a lighter boat that I will have to repair.
    Thanks in advance for your opinions,

Jed
