In Response To: I'm wondering why you are asking this. (Paul G. Jacobson)

Curious. In Jonathan Hanson's book "Complete Sea Kayak Touring", the author writes "Although they are perfectly efficient, plywood or fabric-covered, wood-framed kayaks would be prone to damage on an expedition, with a hundred or more pounds of gear inside (page 6; the context is on amazon.com preview if you want more).

Sounds counter to what I would expect, but I have not seen any facts on this. Can you help?
