That's where I live and I just finished my first kayak last March. It took almost 2 years and a boring day job to complete.

Glad to hear there's other builders in my area. In my club it's just been me and 2 other guys for years ... there has been some interest of late but no one new has actually given it a go.

My first was an Outer Island ... took me about 2 years as well. Coulda done it faster but I tend to go through periods where I have to take a break and do something else. Have only built 3 ... the OI, a Church Woody Ski (waveski) and an F1 SOF. These days SOF's are about all I'm interested in.

Hope to see ya on the water sometime!
