In Response To: Do they break? (Dave Seales)

I checked for damage.

there was no damage

I'm amazed at how strong these boats are.

The next one I build
: will definitely have a lighter lay up.

: I'd be interested to hear if anyone has ever broken or had a catastrophic
: failure of a stripper or S&G boat?

So..... Are you looking for one??? My advise is: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you built a boat that obviouly help up under such a hit, why would you want to build one lighter????? Want to push the envelope....??? what happens if you find out it's weaknesses while out on a paddle.

I'd say.... Stick with what you got!!!!

Just a thought!
