Off Topic: Relative Boat Strength

I'm about the only person I know who regularly paddles a home built boat. I'm currently paddling a stitch and glue Cape Charles and I'm working on a strip Night Heron. Everyone I come across seems to think that my boats look great which is nice but everyone also seems to automatically assume that they are as delicate as a soap bubble, which I'm getting a little tired of.

Has anyone ever tested the relative strength of stitch and glue, strip, SoF against the ubiquitous plastic and fiberglass commercial offerings?
