: Thanks, Bill! There's not much out there on the Sea Tour 15 EXP, so
: I thought I'd ask. There are two other guys on KF who have built
: them, Greywuuf and Victor Aroyo. Victor gave an in depth review,
: and I haven't heard if Greywuuf's had a chance to get his out on
: the water yet.

: Consider me anxious to start building, but knowing that I can't
: until we get the basement... err.... new house. It's good to
: hear something back on the design's (expected) performance. My
: wife will be glad, too... she selected the Sea Bee as her
: design. If I can only get her to get into the build process,
: too...

Hi Noel,

We built that boat, the Sea Bee, basically from a kit that I pre-cut. Had the stringers cut as well as the frames, but the class built it in under 20 hours up to the point of paint and this is with a group that had never built anything, well a couple had some previous experience. Not difficult at all to build. There are pictures of the boat and the class on Tom's website: http://yostwerks.com/HammA.JPG
