San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 14 I am interested in communicating with someone who either has experience in building boats with carbon fibre glass or kevlar, or owns a boat built of same and can argue the relative virtues of either. I know of the price-related factors involved but my engineering info is zilch and would like further knowlege of things like -life-cycle durability -documented materials-failure on real boats -any current research on related topics THANKS!
