>>it tracked much stronger and felt faster because of the straighter glide.

Did it track stronger due to the stringers acting like 'mini keelsons'?

It would be very interesting to actually measure and compare the racing time of the SOF and the fiberglass canoes.

Since general consensus is that SOF has more drag due to larger wetted surface area (skin pushed by the water bulges inwards), then if it was actually faster, the stronger tracking would overcompensate for that effect.

This could be very interesting, please keep us posted.
