In its December 2008 issue, CT reported on the use of balsa core by Lazzara Yachts (see “Competitive to the Core,” p. 36 or visit www.compositesworld.com/go:aspx?id=71014). A CT reader complained that balsa core supplier I-Core was depicted in the story as having “re-invented” balsa core by developing a “production process that creates a new standard for balsa core,” when, the reader contended, other balsa core manufacturers, in fact, supply substantially similar products. CT’s editors wish to point out that the comment at issue was provided by a representative of Lazzara Yachts, who was interviewed for the story, and does not represent the opinion of CT, its editors or staff.  As a point of policy, CT renders no judgments whatsoever regarding the relative quality, suitability for use or marketability of products manufactured or sold by I-Core or any other supplier to this industry.
