You can have a light boat, even one built without exotics. But it won't be as strong or as stiff as one thats built with high modulus materials.

I mention this here because I have been banned from the F16 Forum and there was an active discussion happening there until the moderators decided that it wasn't in the class' best interests.

no prizes for guessing what this boat is <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
