Matt: Wow, awesome job. Don't know how you got that light - wish I did. By the time I got the Kajaksport skeg, deck lines, bulkheads, seat, seat back etc. installed I ended up close to 50 lbs. I think my problem was: using fir/pine for most of the hull, lots of epoxy, 1/4 in. wood bulkheads. I did use 3/16" strips, and 4 oz. glass. Used 6 oz. strip on the keel and to close the deck/hull, and to reinforce around the cockpit. Anyway, great job.
