Waaaay back in the 70's Old Town built 'glass canoes that catered to the current clothing trends (read, loud, colorful patterns)by producing hulls that were covered in loud, colorful patters. Of course they had engineers that knew what they were getting into. You should do the same. If your engineering staff is silent on the issue then, I would say, forget it. Working your buns off then having your laminations come assunder ain't no fun.
It is possible to have lamination failure even with fiberglass. If the 'glass is not treated with binders appropriate for the resin used failures can result.
Also, there is the very real possibility that exposure to sunlight might have the cloth looking very sorry after a few years of exposure. UV is nasty stuff.

: Greetings: I went into a clothing store Friday with the boss (aka Wife) and
: saw some cloth that would look good under the glass and epoxy on the canoe
: I am currently building. Has anyone tried this? Would you put the cloth on
: top of the glass? What fibers should I avoid to decrease the chance of
: delamination?
: Would a good spar varnish decrease the fading of the fabric?
