: Nothing new there. Folbot was using aluminum tubing for the same purpose way
: back in the 1970s.
: I may beway behind the corve but last I heard the "Urge to Reinvent the
: Wheel" crowd is zeroing in on PVC pipe, bamboo and carbon fiber tent
: poles.

The PVC pipe crowd has been around for awile, stuff is too flexible for much use in boats.

Bamboo is interesting if you have a source.

I'd think CF tent poles would be grossly undersize, but making your own CF tubing is possible.
