A Guillemot is also my first boat building experience. A challenging one but also very satisfying. The guy that told you it was impossible was just trying to sell you one of his boats. Get the Guillemot. Build it and when it is done you will look at the lines and think "I" did that. They are beautiful boats for sure.
