I dont think the hybrid would be all that thick but
You want to maintain the designed volume of the hull specified in the
loftiing process, which didnt take into account an appreciable thickness to
the reinforcement. Extra volume will just make the boat float higher in the
water when capsized and Bram mentioned to me that he was concerned with this
as a practical matter of design. Thats what the righting strap and its foot
loops is for. 49ers wings have so much less volume that they float lower,
but still its a bit of work when you are learning and when you are tired to
get up on the blade to right the boat.

That is what Bram told me too. Shave 6 and 8 then nibble the other parts
where appropriate to fit during the deck fitting operation.
