In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: lightest (Chuck)

You're wrong with your assumption the SOF's are lighter. There's a lot of wood there and much of it is oak . And when you get that roll or outer skin material, you'll be surprised at the weight. Plus you have to coat it and fill the weave.

A stitch and glue can be made the lighest and still have enough strength to be an actual usable kayak.
