    Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

    Sheathing can be surface protection and waterproofing. If this is the case 6 oz plain cloth is perfect.

    Sheathing could be structural, then you would use structure cloth like 12oz biax


    Your boat is low power. The taped seams should hold her together so 6 oz plain cloth sheating on the outside and inside should do the job.

    Up to you. If you want to ruggedize your boat sheath it in 12oz biax.


    The 150 mm biax 45 45 tape would be a good choice. Plenty of bond surface overlap
