In Response To: busting laminates (lee)

: with all this talk about relative strengths of different layups has anyone
: out there down their own tests and come to any surprising conclusions?

Another way to assess strength is to ask for reports from anyone who has had a kayak get damaged. They could describe the force, object and the damage done.

I have seen little in the way of this and believe that it is because the boats are plenty strong enough.
