Hi Debbie. About 6 weeks from kit to water. I worked evenings after work and
all day on weekends. I did have a full week off from work that helped speed
things up a bit. Some of the advice I got was to allow the epoxy to cure
real well before varnishing, so I paddled the boat for another 6 weeks to
make sure the epoxy was fully cured before varnishing 8^)

I just finished varnishing and adding a rudder this past weekend, so I'm
anxious to get back on the water!

If you haven't visited Nick Schade's site yet, I highly recommend it. Full
of expert advice for strip or S&G builders:
