: Actually the Storm SLT is designed for 140 pounds, paddler and gear

Oops! I should have picked up that distinction. I'm 6'4" and just under 200 pounds, so will be building the big Storm.

I have visited Valclav's shop and seen (and sat in) his prototypes. He uses 1/4" x 5/8" or 1/2" strips and six ounce cloth inside and out, so his boats tend to be heavy but very rugged. My strips and 1/4" x 5/8" and I will use mostly four ounce cloth, aiming to bring it in at about 40 pounds.

Thanks for the additional information.
