Default Stitch and glue canoe; scarf or butt?

Jacques,
THANK YOU !!

Not for this particular boat/thread, but just in general for this specific
snippet of info . . .

It 'looked good on paper' and a LOT of 'the experts' recommended it.
However, for some reason I always had a feeling in the 'back of my mind'
{from my Textile Engineering Degree ?? An article I had read ??} that
something didn't quite fit.

Regards,
