: After reading the threads here I think my "Reverse hybrid kayak"
: should work? or did I miss something?? In fact according to some threads
: it is overkill???
: I bought a set of Auk 14 plans. I am thinking of making a "Reverse
: Hybrid". Hull of 3/16 inch cedar strips and 1/8 inch 3-ply plywood
: "doorskin" deck. I am 6 foot and 200 # so reinforcing the
: cockpit and hatch area is a must. I am thinking to double the doorskin in
: these areas. Also plan to glass hull & deck both sides using 4 oz.
: cloth.
: PS How goes your boat project Kudzu?

If you feel like you need to make it stronger around the cockpit, add another layer of glass there, lots easier than adding more wood.
