Carbon Kevlar hulls an update on C'est La Vie

Hi all,
Not too sure if this has been answered for me somewhere else, but I am using the double diagonal method of covering my hull. I will use 4mm marine ply and then below the waterline ie below the chines to the keel i want to use a carbon Kevlar sheathing.
Has anyone used this before and if so is there anywhere in australia to buy the stuff and any tips or pointers applying it.
Or is this just overkill on an already strong and proven method.
Looking for longevity in the hull on impact etc.
The carbon Kevlar would certainly provide this.
