Anyone know a strength / breaking point comparison between 1/4" and 3/8" marine plywood?

I'm going to be building a sailboat typically built with 3/8" marine plywood, as a stripper, and I'm trying to figure out what my lay-up strength needs to be.

I have the West Systems chart showing wood thickness/ lay-up schedule comparisons AND the strength of 1/4" marine plywood but I can't find a number for 3/8" plywood to compare.
