Re: [Paddlewise] Composite vs. Plastic Info - aluminum?

Matt, et al:

I'm just down at mi old ISP trying to clean up old email and notify friends of my new email at telus.net. I'm on the digest version, so I often send posts before I see what the next thread is. Thanks for continuing to clarify. I think I understand what you and Shawn are saying now. I guess some of the confusion comes from the lighter layup schedule plus the VB'd technology. Those are the boats I see damaged on the coast. If i were to order a boay from you, I'd do as you suggest, more glass, VB'ed. BTW, one of my woodworking co-instructors was down at the CD factory the other day. He simply could not believe the operations there. All the workers were wearing street cloths. There was not a spot of dust or a drip of debris on the floor. The VB'ing is a totally clean operation. (My friend gets $15,000.00 for a mission style desk, and wants to get into veneer VB'ing now). 

Anyway, thanks for keeping it friendly and informative. Please, take me to task on anything I say. Most of the back and forth threads generate lots of good information and clarification. In the case of my observations of kayaks I've seen damaged on the coast (I've done a fair amount of paddling of course, as you have), the kayaks in question were always the lighter ones. God's speed fine sir. Thanks again for the help with the Entrapment article. You have a big heart Matt.
