For a couple of reasons:
1. We had a sponsor that supplied us with the starboard (or HDPE)
2. Its our rookie year and the shop that we would have to use is a wood shop and our family owns a CNC router and it cuts BEAUTIFULLY!
3. We knew are strategy was defensive so we weren't going to build an arm, and the HDPE is very robust and its slightly heavy thus a low CG
