I had also heard that Kevlar was a bear to work with, because it fuzzes, and found out the hard way for myself this summer. I used a blend of Kevlar/Carbon, and it was a joy to work with - until I started sanding.
That Sh#t will NOT sand! The best you can do is either finish up with glass or carbon, or make sure it is lower than you want, and use some filler over it! It is, however, stronger than hell!

Some areas of the hull have no core but most of the hull does. On the other hand, C&C was quite good at coring hulls so, unless there was some serious accident (like there was with this boat) the cores are not usually a problem, and are an advantage, making the hulls both stronger and lighter than comparable hulls without cores...

According to him, the repairs done after the initial damage were not enough and over time it just got worse. That said, he was confident that he could hand the repairs. He also told me that the hull was balsa cored...so my comfort level in his competence is a little soft. The fiberglass/kevlar hull is definitely not cored balsa and, may be significantly more difficult to repair. He felt that without a significant profit potential, the boat will never sell. His opinion is that if the O wants to sell, the price should be around 20K. I'm not sure you could part it out and recover that much and I agree that considering the type and extent of the damage parting it out is the only realistic out... Still sad to see one of the limited number of 36+/40's go to the scrap heap. Tom B ¤º°`°º¤,¸¸,¤º°`°º¤¤º°`°º¤,¸¸,¤º°`°º¤.
