Good Afternoon;
I've recently become interested in SOF boating, I am a full time RV'er in need of a way to get back on the water...and a winter project. SOF's light weight draws me to this method of construction.
I was disappointed to read that your choice of 8oz polyester is no longer available. A quick search turned up 72" wide, 3.7oz polysester from Stewart River Boats (it is used for fabric covered airplanes). Is this an unacceptably light weight fabric for small boats? Could it be applied in two layers?
If the 11.5oz fabric is the only game-in-town, I'm also in.
