If you increase your mast height, you can also increase the sail area
and use the reef points in the sails which is absolutely mandatory for
that boat. If you build that boat out of Okume plywood, you will
indeed need to use some structual glass which will add some weight,
and not just some finish cloth. . The boat will be too lite unless you
do this.



Sounds then like the boat just should not be built light weight at
all.
