Wood frame definitely needs some protection. I use an old sheet and roll the long pieces, one at a time, so that I end up with a giant roll with none of the pieces in contact with the others. Then I put a towel on the top and bottom of the roll and duct tape it tight. After inserting the long pieces in the long bag I cinch it as tight as I can to prevent movement. I don't do anything special for the hull and I carry the bag with ribs on board. BTW, one can not carry a paddle, even a 4-piece, on board in the U.S. That needs to go in the long bag.
Good luck!
