I heard second (or third) hand that Necky made Ed Gillett's Tesla from a super duty all CF lay-up. I emailed Necky about it months ago, but they never responded. Maybe they were saving the information for a product release, or maybe they checked my credit and found that I couldn't afford one anyway. The question I would like to hear answered is this: If you made a CF boat that weighed as much as glass, would it be significantly stronger than glass? Any mechanical engineers out there that have actually done the analysis or boat builders who have actually tried it? Steve Brown -----Original Message----- Y'all.... I just getting ready to place an order for a new Looksha 4, with their new Carbon Lay-up..... It's my understanding from Necky that these boats are NOT pure carbon-fiber, but rather they are using Carbon Fiber where they traditionally used Kevlar; simeon *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
