In Response To: Material: Another Glass Layup Question (Ryan)

: Hull: Exterior - Full 3.25oz Satin / Football of 3.75 S-glass / Extra Bow and
: stern layers
: Interior - 3.25 Satin / Full or partial layer of 3.75 S-glass OR
: Raka 5oz (I'm aware of the known problems but this will be mostly hidden
: anyway and would like the opportunity to try out all sorts of glass on
: this boat)

: Deck: Exterior - 3.75oz S-glass
: Interiour - 3.25oz Satin with some additional reinforcements in the required
: areas ( most likely a small second layer and some unidirection carbon
: tape.)

Sounds reasonable to me. The single-layer areas of 3.2oz satin will be strong but not invincible. I doubled up the 3.2oz satin everywhere I used it; I expect the kids will give my tandem pretty rough treatment though. S-glass would be ideal if you can afford it.
