The designer Dudley Dix requires just 450 g/m² at mast step area as shown in sketch bellow. But I think a stiffer hull and harder surface is worth the higher effort.
This blog will take you along the different steps of building a 23 foot dropkeel sailboat. The DIDI 23 is one of the available designs for the amateur builder designed by Dudley Dix. The boat is built as a radius chine trailer sailer from plywood with bulb dropkeel.

The hull is coated by stitched biaxial fibreglass +/-45°, 600 g/m².
