The article I read said it's not just about airplanes, it said Carbon is becoming the material of choice for lots of other stuff too, from bicycles to car parts to cell phones, etc.

What's going on with the marine ply prices, now that lots of custom builders are switching to carbon? Are the prices coming down at all? For the home builder, seems good old wood and epoxy are hard to beat for hulls. I wonder what Hall Spars is getting for their new A cat masts these days?
