Anyone have info on Necky's new and upcoming carbon fibre sea kayaks? Apparently, the company that makes wing tips for the F-16's, has a unique process that can render a kayak hull/deck of honeycombed carbon fibre at about 3/16" - both stiff and light. The entire kayak is autoclaved. Sounds cool. If it works well, perhaps the other manufactures will follow suit. Maybe it's been worth waiting all these years for a new boat (not necessarily Necky) - Doug Lloyd, going light. That would be different. Don't know if Kirk and fellow racers would benefit from this new technology.
