Take a look at Esquif Canoes, they have a new layup called Twin Tex.
Supposed to be tough and light.

I paddled a TwinTex Zephyr last weekend for a few minutes. Fiberglass
matrix in a polypropylene resin. Didn't have to carry it, so can't
comment on the weight, but it's very flexible. Grab the gunwales (not
while in a rapid, please) and you can pull them together about 4". The
Zephyr is a little twitchy initially, but its secondary stability is
phenomenal. The rail is pulled in about 2" from the widest point of the
hull. Lay it over and you almost have a second hull under you.
