Composite materials used for kayaks

Composite materials are quite popular in kayak construction, especially for the hull of the boat, offering a number of advantages over traditional materials. Composite kayaks are made from resin-impregnated laminates of fiberglass, aramid fibers, carbon fiber, or a mixture of these and other high-tech synthetic fabrics.

Abstract

Composite materials are quite popular in kayak construction, especially for the hull of the boat, offering a number of advantages over traditional materials. Composite kayaks are made from resin-impregnated laminates of fiberglass, aramid fibers, carbon fiber, or a mixture of these and other high-tech synthetic fabrics.
