: Matt,

: I started building the Sonnet On March 10 by cutting out the plywood forms
: for the skinning frame. That said I did not do much more until April 1
: when I took over the side of the garage my wife uses and began assembling
: a strongback. I launched the kayak last Thursday evening May 8. So total
: build time was in the 5 week range. This was my first experience building
: a boat without using a kit. I previously built a S&G Kayak and a S&G
: canoe.

: I hope this is useful,

Beautiful boat! I saw your pic in the gallery on the yostwerks site. I previously built a S&G kayak. How does this one compare difficulty-wise?

Any recommendations on ordering materials? I'd love to know where you ordered from, and how much you ended up spending. Email me if you have this info handy... matthew.timbs(at)gmail.com.
