Strip: 2 oz fiberglass cloth on stripper

I'm preparing to build an 18' x 21.6" strip kayak and an 18.5' strip USCA spec C1 racing canoe this winter. Excluding the affects of rocks scraping the glass, is 2 ounce/yard cloth strong enough when applied to interior and exterior? I will reinforce the bow and stern areas and any through-bolted points. My main concern is the canoe C1 shape having adequate stiffness using 1/4" strips. Additional interior bracing is not a problem.
Thanks, Steve.
