Strip: stripped deck

Hello,
I’m currently building a kayak with a stripped deck. Here’s my question: is there any structural relevance for sheer strips? Starting with the kingplanks and working down to the sheer seems to save a lot of work. I usually paint about one inch of the deck above the sheer line continuously with the hull.
Thanks for your help,
Martin/Vienna/Austria
