Kevlar is real tough stuff and light.
I have a canoe made of Kevlar, in some major white water my buddy and I smashed into the rocks, broke 10 of the canoe’s ribs and caved it right in. I got up on the rock kicked the canoe and “thunk” it popped right back and we finished the trip. That was a good thing because we were about 50 miles from anything. I’ve broken and replaced ribs on a couple of occasions, the Kevlar has a couple of crease marks in it, but I have never had to repair it. My 17’ canoe weighs 48lbs. Oh, they don’t call us Crazy Canucks for nothing!!! Attached image(s)
