This thread just invites strippers to tell their weights are less than S&G and vice versa. I suspect that there is an answer but the only way to get it is to get some significant statistics and that's only when the strength factor is included - when they break.

The way you phrase it is a different way of saying that it's a useless question, too, so I think we are in agreeement.

Henk

: Over the years I've seen some really rough jobs done with both strippers
: (more rarely) and stitch and glue kayaks and I've yet to see one fail.
: Even those that had really bad glass jobs seem to be pretty rugged.

: Most kayaks are never loaded anywhere near their designed maximum loads, so
: the stresses are pretty low compared to what they are designed to handle.

: What kind of use are you planning on anyway?

: Bill H.
