Bill,

You might try Fiberglass Supply in Bingen WA. 509-493-7755. They supply a bunch of builders in the NW. I bought my stuff there and they beat Sweet's prices. Ask for Matt. He's familiar with the boat and builds boats himself.

Good luck.

Greg,
I've got a bit of a quandary...less than a yard of hybrid left and I have only one layer of hybrid and one s-glass on each of your foam-cored foils.  I called John R. Sweet and the hybrid will be out-of-stock until at least August due to high-demand for military applications.  Can you suggest an alternative lay-up for the cloth?  Sweet suggested alternating layers of straight carbon fiber and straight Kevlar.  Bram may want to discuss alternative sources for hybrid during our Wednesday Chat.

BTW...your cores work great with 2.7 oz Dacron peel-ply from Aircraftspruce.com.  Fantastic finish for lay-ups or bagging.
