From your fine web site:

"Most of the inside of the boat is covered with glass and Epoxy. Due to the
curvature of the inside it was somewhat difficult to get the glass follow
the sides. This I have to sand away and replace with new glass. After the
boat is finished, this will not be visible."

I ended up making my dinghy 20% heavier than it should have been by glassing
the interior. Since then I've read/decided that the fiberglass is only
there to reinforce the epoxy. The boat's strength comes from the plywood.
Only the areas of the interior where sandy feet will be deserve glass.
(Yes, it all gets epoxy.)

I'm still open to discussion on this.
