aircraft dacron

I am currently building my second CLC yare with an eye towards racing in several local races. I am considering using aircraft dacron for the deck instead of 3mm okume. So far i am finding limited infromation on this topic. My current plan is to layup custom carbon fiber deck beams that will support the dacron. As well as custom fitted "knees" at the bow and stern to give a little extra support as well as an aditional fastening point for the dacron. Any thought or tips would be appreciated.
