used one for a project a couple of years ago, pictured below.

It is way strong as per the CLC specs. If I was using it on an ordinary kayak I would reduce the cross-members substantially to reduce weight. They are very strong. Otherwise find some way of using carbon paddle-shafts or broken windsurfer mast tops or some such to reduce weight.

If you want to see the boat being built follow the link.
