Strip: no fiberglass?

I am interested in making a sprint K1 within the next year. Is fiberglass necessary to make a strong boat (and I don't mean strong against impacts/abrasion). Can a boat be made with just epoxy seal coats or varnish, and the only fiberglass be seam reinforcement and still be strong? Any experiences? ..thanks
