In Response To: project idea... will it work? (David Blodgett)

Have a look at Charles Walbridges book on fiberglass kayak building. He has some discusion on using materials so as to have the boat fail predictably. The idea is to have the boat open up and release you instead of collapsing and pinning you in. You would want some expert opinion before proceding.
