See you on the race course.

H'mm from the tone of the above I suspect that the great day is getting
close

Hey Stefan Welcome to the class! I see you are based in Brookings OR, plenty
of help for you in that neck of the woods.
Also another boat on the West Coast. Come on East Coast Lurkers, lets catch
up!!!
Seriously, yes there is a shortage of Carbon/Hybrid. It comes up from time
to time though. You will need 25 yards of the fabric.
If you are sure you will make a Swift Solo in the next couple of months then
Sweet Composites currently has one 100 yard roll of the material left. the
URL is http://sweetcomposites.com/ the prices are outstanding.
I suggest you secure what you need now or be too late. You could always sell
it later if you decide not to build the Swift. Maybe even make a profit.
My company, NYC Skiffs, currently has 10 yards for those that need some
little extra.
Greg

Subject: Carbon fiber shortage?
When I stumbled across the Swift Solo article in Wooden Boat Magazine,
it was love at first sight, and I will just have to build one. My work
plan includes first building the workshop and a small project to get a
feel for the strip building process, and hopefully make the bigger
mistakes on something less significant than the Swift Solo. So, it will
take another couple of months before I will be ready to start on the
Swift. Meanwhile, I have truly enjoyed monitoring the emails coming
through on the email list.
When planning my trainer project, I discovered that the sources for
carbon fiber express problems with a global shortage of carbon fiber and
seem pretty discouraging about their ability to deliver. Is this
something you have had to deal with in the past, and does anyone have
any suggestion as to if and how we can get around the problem?
