Re: Carbon Fiber ?
Yes it would be. A lot of race boats are all or part carbon fiber. Its just more expensive. Some of the large America's Cup sailboats are almost entirely carbon and carbon/Kevlar layups. Very strong, very light, very expensive. The Stealth Fighter jet (F-somethingorother) and B2 Bomber are made of carbon fiber. Formula 1 and Indy race car chassis are carbon fiber. Lance Armstrongs bicylce is carbon fiber, so is my tennis racket.<br /><br />Most boats are made of Fiberglass and polyester resin because the cost/strength/weight ratio is good. <br /><br />You can make a better boat by varying the fiber reinforcement using different types of glass, less matt, more cloth, S-glass etc. or going to other composites, Kevlar, Spectra, or Carbon fiber.<br /><br />You can make a better boat by using a better matrix than polyester. Epoxy is stronger but is more expensive. <br /><br />It all depends on the use. Are you going fishing or are you making doors for the Space Shuttle?
<br />I don't know if anyone could afford one if it were built, but just tought I'd ask.
