Nosing around Wickes the other day, their plywood was ~£25 a sheet, and it is WBP not Marine. They don't seem to stock full sheets of 4mm either, though they did have 6mm.
A quick call to the young girl at Beaumont Forest Products in Wycombe gave a result. She can order me in 4mm marine ply at about £17.50 +vat for a full sheet. So better quality and cheaper price.
Once the plans arrive, I'll decide on 4 vs 6.

Then my son suggested a canoe camping trip down the River Wye. This demanded something better than a plastic popout boat, so the idea of building and paddling my own canoe was born.
I hope to make this:
