The Geodesic Airolite construction method is the brainchild of Platt Monfort of Maine. Essentially, you build a lightweight frame of spruce or cedar (glued with epoxy, not lashed), and use kevlar roving as diagonal bracing.

Super light, and tougher than you'd expect. http://www.geodesicairoliteboats.com/ A buddy of mine built a GA boat based on Joe Greenley's Redfish Return design: http://users.moscow.com/bprice/projectx/index.html Shawn LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
