Ha, I owned a manly junior as a kid. Pretty similar to a sabot but with a jib and spinnaker. We always fibreglassed the chines and keel inside and out, more for waterproofing and ability to take few knocks rather than strength.
This was back in the early 70's, long before the stitch and glue technique was around. Everything was epoxy glued and copper nailed if I recall.
