Thanks, Chip -
I'm going to double-up the stringers again. It was easy to do and with the kevlar roving made for a very strong and stiff boat. It does not flex the way the traditional SOF's are designed to do. I'd like to paddle a lashed boat one of these days. I used PU glue to do the entire glue-up, including laminating the ribs and gluing the stringers to the ribs. This time around I'll use wood-glue and epoxy. The PU glue requires 100% positive contact between surfaces for a good bond and that wasn't always easy to achieve. Before I applied the kevlar roving and dacron, I torqued every joint and had to re-glue over a dozen.
