Okay, but on the stitch and glue, if you don't glass the inside of the hull, is there actually a problem with water seepage through micro cracks in the epoxy seal coat? Several manufacturers of plans and kits push this as a selling point for their kits, including enough cloth to cover the inside of the hull, and stating that "other boats" will show damage from water seepage with time.
