Cuben Fiber

[DiscoveryDiver]

I just got a quote from them yesterday. Think I'll stick with the sil for now. It was the CT0.3K.08 and was a little over $18.00 yd, if I remember correctly.

How much would you need to make the tarp you wanted...6-8 yards?

Trying to track down some Cuben fiber....

I've googled 'Cuben Fiber' and keep coming up against the 'NorthSails' website. Tried ebay, but no luck.

Anyone know where I can actually buy enough of the material to make a tarp the same shape as the stock Hennessy model? Or, alternatively, anyone know someones who makes one to fit a Hennessy Hyperlite? I don't even know if the stuff is commercially available for the public to purchase in the US let alone Australia.

You can buy Cuben by the yard at:
Zpacks
Quest Outfitters
Bear Paw Wilderness Designs

If you need more than 9-10 yards it is much cheaper buying from CubicTech. I would recommend bonding/taping over sewing if you do in fact decide to make your own cuben tarp.
