The hull itself was easy and goes quick... the devil is in the details.. sanding , fairing , painting and sanding somemore. If you plan to row.. it will go quick.. if you add the parts for sailing it will add a lot of time. The scuppered inwhales added a lot of unessasary time also. I have had fun and have learned a lot... the fiberglass was easy... buy devlins book it explains a lot and read and search the internet for others that have done stitch and glue.. plenty of info out there. I saw that devlin has plans for the swing keel now on his site. If you have any more questions fire away... Ronnie
