Good afternoon all,

Well this is definitely the place to be tolearn more about composites. I am a Canadian expat that’s been living in the UK for morethan 17 years now. As a teenager, I grew up enjoying long distance canoeing andeventually got into racing in the States and in Canada. In those days, Kevlar boatswere starting to be the craze and they were just as beautiful to watch as theywere to ride in. So over the years I gained experience in repairing both glassand Kevlar canoes and in making our own bent laminated paddles.  Recently, I have decided to build my owncarbon fibre canoe based on the Winonah pro model (http://www.wenonah.com/Canoes.aspx?id=137).So I guess I will be logging on quite frequently in order to benefit for the extensiveexperience of the forum’s members.

Cheers,

Z
