Ian, there was a person advertising their flatwater racing kayaks a few months ago. They looked like a single veneer of wood that was molded and vacuum bagged with the appropriate high tech fabric lamination.

me thinks that when one starts taking a particular method of construction to its limits,ie. thinner strips, less wood, different glues,lighter fabrics then it is time to consider other construction methods as well as other materials.
