i use 2 layers on the bottom, plus 3 full-length layers on the top plus
a 3/4-length layer beginning at the tail. in addition, the entire back
footstrap area get a bunch more after capping...

I think that is basically what I did with my board. I have more around the
mast track and foot strap area: at least fourlayers with capping.
