Re: response to an importan question from Bob Lewis regarding alternative composites

Wired Thing and A Series of Unfortunate Events have never been varnished 
again since they had their first coats. There has been almost no maintenence 
on Events in the three years it has been trashed around and I think it 
looked just as good as I first saw it, one or two small hook marks thats 
all. This boat had a few coats of epoxy and a few coats of "varnish" which 
is not hard. Covered, this will do for another 3 years. If Bram had used 2 
part perfection varnish I think 5or 6 years would show no maintenence except 
if he hooks it in a capsize. Cedar is good in fresh or salt if the skins are 
pierced. Another advantage of the preservatives present surounding the 
particular linear carbon tube arangement found in the Swift Solos core!
