Make the skin SHORT! Polyester has little stretch, but you will distort the
panels as you tension them during assembly and that will allow some
"apparent" lengthening (greater longitudinal than lateral tension).
Triton, the Russian folding boat builder, uses pretty hard PVC strips in way
of the stringers and keelson to protect the lightweight PVC hull. Works
excellently!!
Good luck!
