I am new to the subject of building kayaks. The research that i have done sofar has indicated that a wood composite boat is superior to fiberglass and plastic but no one has stated if stitch/glue or strip built boats have strength advantages over each other. With my limited knowledge i would think a plywood boat would have superior strength. please responed
