At this moment I was just curious if I could build a canoe totally whitout glass and epoxy !

Or beneath the waterline in plastic ( a little flex tolerated) and the upper part
wood ......or
Maybe beneath the waterline kind of canvas (pvc maybe a la Tom Yost) but it tears rather easily in sharp surrounding.......or
Build in wooden strips and beneath the waterline thinner strips with plastics
strokes glued on .......or
Just strip building complete and beneath strokes of plasic (rubber) every 10 cm

You see: still fooling around with some ideas .. and still curious at others!

Anyway , apologize for my bad english ( I' m from Flanders (Belgium) )

Everybody , thank you allready for your input

Maybe still woodstrip and a coating of polyura beneath waterline!
" They say its extreme durable

Anybody heard of this thing , also used in piping , boatbuilding and so on
