Will, Flat Stanley was built in New Zealand. Kevlar foam Sandwich, probably literally bulletproof!

The first Foam sndwich dinghy in the UK *that I know of* was a David Steele/Russ Bowler Cherub in 1970. I think the first foam sandwich boat may have been a Kelsall trimaran as early as 1966.

You can put the weight in the most effective parts of the boat instead of having it uselessly spread out. And its always better to easily put some weight on to a light boat to get it up to minimum weight than it is to get a heavy boat down to min. weight.

The idea with building a boat light and putting lead in means that as the boat gets older and you modify or repair it you can take the lead out and still be on weight and competitave.

If you have no lead you just have to buy a new boat!!
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
