: Has anyone thought of, heard of or tried building a S&G by using hull panels
: using a ployester resin/fibreglass without the plywood.

: I would imagine laying down the hull panels on a large table in roughly the
: correct shape. They would then be trimmed to the final shape before
: stitching and glueing together in the conventional way.

: The hull panels could afford to be a little thicker than normal plywood while
: still keeping the weight to a reasonable figure.

: Does this sound like a wild idea for building a really cheap and light kayak
: ?

: I look foward to your responses.
All glass layup are always heavy or not stiff. There was a sailboat builder that made all glass boats that did big time oil caning in the waves. Sounded like a kettle drum was down below. I thought of making a SG with sheet HDPE for rock gardening, not cheap or lite but could look cool and be fun.
