: I'm building the Guillemot S&G right now and was wondering how important is
: the inner layer of 6oz cloth? With this being 4mm plywood and quite rigid
: with just the tape down, do I realy need the extra weight and strength of
: an inner layer?
: The kayak is going to be used for mostly day paddles and weekend trips on
: fairly flat water. With this being my frist kayak, it probobly wont see
: big surf or a bad squal.
: If the strength isn't that critical, I'd prefer to save the few pounds. BTW,
: how much weight am I talking about with 6oz cloth and the epoxy required?
: Thanks for all the help.

I was recently told by a kayak builder that one layer of 6oz fiberglass on the inside makes the hull 4 times stronger... That's a huge gain for a few pounds. I'd love to hear somone verify the number, along with some data to help me believe it.

have a good day.
