I wish I knew more about what the things around me are made of. Invented in the sixties, Kevlar is versatile enough to be used for bulletproof vests and racing sails - incredible that something can power boats and stop bullets in their tracks.
p.s. I saw the Prada boat racing around the Isle of Wight a few years ago and I was convinced, binoculars in hand, that all their sailors were male models (they weren't winning). If anybody can shed any light on this I am extremely curious.
