In Response To: PVC Amas? (Mike R.)

: I had a thought of using PVC pipe as sailrig amas (outriggers).

: 1) Would it work? (weight, drag, etc.)

: 2) Would it be such an aesthetic affront that I would not be allowed to call
: myself a wooden kayak builder?

Yaa, just strip build over the plastic pipe and remove it afterward, glass and you're done.
