If it is structurally important than all those strip-built kayaks should be falling apart at any moment, because all of the joints between strips are only backed with fiberglass cloth, they do not put tape on the seam between each of the strips. It is important in the building process, but that joint should have the same strength as each of the joints between strips on a strip-built.
