My Guillemot S&G doesn't look quite as good as Darens. But I have kept a log of hours on my boat. I have spent 65 hours to date and I am in the home straight: I have to weave fill the deck, make and fit the cockpit, do the bulkhead and make the hatch + sand and Varnish.

The 65 hours includes lofting from tables.

I am a first time kayak builder and reckon that you could save 15 hours and a lot of angst by buying the panel plans from Nick. That could easily put it in the 50 hour category (if you knew what you were doing and had all the bits and pieces).

Cheers Pete
