Hi isailsmith,
I do not know what you are realy talking about!! Hanse is still using epoxy as a knd of makng boats more stabil and more reliable!! If you are looking to a boat which is build out of carbon, send a request to swan, x-yacht or any other boatbuilder who is producing that stuff!!

Best regards and always a hand brite
best regards

Bjoern

Hi,

Very few thoroughbred racing boats, like the TP52, have hulls made out of  carbon fibers and epoxy resins.
Most mass produced boats  including Hanses , X-yachts and Swans may have their  masts and booms, wheels ,gang boards or rudders out of carbon-epoxy as an extra.
Glass fibers and epoxy offers a 20% weight saving over glass with polyester resin for the same rigidity. The carbon-epoxy combination saves about 50% of the weight (at a huge cost penalty).
