Epic use it with a thick honeycomb core and the stiffness is from that core with the Kevlar(aramid)trying to stop pointloading punctures. It used to be cheap in OZ but has got up closer towards Carbon prices now. Lats

Thanks for weighing in Lats, great to hear from someone with some boat building know how....what is "pointloading punctures"?
Also are you saying that the raw Kevlar Material used to be cheap in Oz and is now as pricey as Carbon.
I was also looking at Epics Composite lay-up boats, that have Fibreglass, Kevlar and Carbon layers!! does this make them more difficult to repair should they get a catastrophic failure in surf etc.
