In Response To: Re: Strip: Inlay material (Shawn Baker)

Thanks again Shawn for your input, but if you don't mind I would like to pick your brain some more on this subject. With a stitch&glue hull, how big/many/far apart would you have to place curved deckbeams to achieve the same strength you get from a fiberglass covered stripped deck? As you have said, this would have to be based on the intended uses, but what about fairly rough conditions in Puget Sound (daytrips). I'm not only concerned about inlays, but more importantly short strips or even possibly the skin-on-deck hybrid. Also any ideas on making ultra-light deckbeams?
