I like my canoes like I like my racecars. Flyweight and full of exotic materials. No, not carbon fiber, but yes to kevlar and mylar.
Fairly easy to build. Weighs next to nothing. And not like anything your pals have ever seen on the lake.

For the real freakout, skip the dacron cloth and just go with single layer clear mylar. Same process as old radio controlled airplanes.
Also, google foam insulation kayak.
