: I think so too. Once you get them off and running, it's nice having 8 sets of
: hands. The hull was stripped in 2 sessions and the deck took only 1. I did
: put in a few (1-3) hours a week doing prep work like sanding, fill coats,
: taping the other inner seam, etc., but they did 95% of the work. Of the 40
: or so students I've had in the past 3 years, more than half of them
: finished a boat and several are working towards it. The central Oregon
: fleet is growing fast.

We've had only two sessions so far and 3 of the students are already collecting tools and materials to build their own later

I had to do a pile of prep work ahead of time, making it basically a pre-cut kit and still we are a little behind schedule. Never gave a thought to how quickly I could build a boat before .
