Boat: Farrier f27 | . Depending on the quality level you desire. I assume the end goal is to sail and not just to experience the build. I have not built but have come close in the past (actually rented space and ordered material) for a tri, but ended up the same design I was going to build. At present I have plans for another and am looking for place to build - unless another one shows up of the design I want! You might want to give a hard look at the costs of building vs a used cat. There's a glut of them (charter cats) and the sales prices should be dropping even more than the asking prices. That is if the designs available for you. |

Boat: 50' steel canal and river cruiser | , car, plane etc. Thousands of hours are needed. 40 hours per week for 12 months = 2000 hours. If your in a relationship, have and a demanding job, it takes years and thats a main reason most people quit. If you took the hours you spend building and get a paid job, then spend that buying the , it will save your marriage AND get you sailing years sooner. Many aircraft builders are more in love with the build than the flying. Some drag their heels when nearing completion as they fear the end of the and some launch straight into the next. Its a prison sentance. Take it from one who knows !!!! Jodel D18, KR2, Avid, Kitfox, Minimax, .....been involved in them all and more besides. My D18 build buddy had a 36' pair of hulls in his back yard, never finished. Every year the tarps would fill with , split and the hulls would fill and spread the cradles so he had to out the thousands of gallons. The rotted and all his work went down the drain. In the same yard were 3 Porches awaiting strip down and . He had enough aircraft sourced from aerojumbles and boot sales to make 3 more. Some dream and some get out there and actually do the flying and sailing. |

Boat: Outremer 5X | is 6-9 months. Depending on labor costs, you may even be able to build a for the cost of a used one, with the advantage of having the fun and satisfaction of the building process. |

Boat: Farrier f27 | . After the earthquake I was looking at the work force there and they do have a of boatbuilders, with in the state it's in now I don't think it would work but shortly in 6 months or a year when basic infrastructure is in place Haiti would have the labor force and they definitely need the work. |

Boat: self design cat in progress | ? Worked on a Schionning Cosmos.. strip plank. Good boat, lottsa hours. Not a kit. Have looked over a spirited in progress and it is pretty busy. Many little bits and pieces that are structural. The build system is well thought out though. The sheer go in last so there is better access to the job for example. The big objection I have with the kits is the added cost. I hear designers get a 10% commission (kickback would be a better word) from the balsa panel . Thats about $6000-$7000 out of pocket and I don't like the stuff but now I know why the designers love it! I think the kits make it less intimidating for a to start but once you get stuck into it, they may not be that much of an advantage. I'm building a 35 foot cat I drew myself using any kind of good material I can get . Left overs and abandon projects and anything FGI has on special. Mostly ply with foam and polycore. I am looking at coming in at $50K or less. If you want fast and easy and , build a 30 footer fast and just over $20K and you can buy the plans for $135. But if you do build from a kit I think Schionning makes a good boat with good resale value. |

Boat: Outremer 5X | . makes it really tough to adequately supervise the work yourself, so you would have to give the to a local boat building shop. That said, is an excellent choice for low cost, good quality work. |

Boat: 1982 Oday 34 | finished. Life gets busy. You've got work, , wives/girlfriends, holidays, home , car , fun opportunities, etc. all competing for time against the project. My brother suddenly got offered a chance to get his Masters six months into the project. That ate up almost a year of progress. I bought a project boat last July and tackled it hard every weekend through October. Then I didn't get to touch it again until mid-January. I'm back on track for now, but my girlfriend is getting pretty irritated that she only gets to see me on the weekends and now that's down to only one day a weekend. Of course, you try to get girlfriends/wives involved, but there's only so much they can do, and they get bored with it. Then, on top of all that, you have to take into account the fact that you'll just get burned out and need to take occasional breaks from the project. Of course, there's some guys that can just churn out the work. One of the guys in the Cobra club spent two days completely unpacking every box of the kit and organized and labeled the hundreds of bolts and . Then he put the entire thing together and had it running in four days. So no, the kits aren't that complicated. It's making sure you've got the time for the kits that is so hard for most people. My biggest if you're going to build a kit is have a place to build it that is not costing you extra rent. That way you're not just throwing money away for every month there's no progress. |

. Because I now have the kind of boat you really can't buy off a production line, which are predominantly built for work. | |

. It will be our home for >5 years, so it has to be right. We will allow space for two guests, but only just. I am quite attracted to the Fusion 40 actually. But, I have calculated I would still cost me about 250.000 euros to get a world cruiser built. And than I am not counting my own hours ofcourse. But, what also attracts me about self building, is that you know your boat inside out. Which might be rather usefull when you have to fix something in some far and place. | |

up substantially, and if you have to travel to the project, it will be more difficult ans time consuming. Still can be done though, I know people who have done and some who still are doing it. Re kits - if you have the , and the boat suits, then IMO the Fusion is far better value than say, a Spirited. You now get a skilled worker with the kit, and I've heard they are now getting those things locked up in under a month! A spirited kit costs almost as much as a Fusion, around $125k versus $155k, but takes about as long as my boat did to build. (My kit costs around $70k these days, including plans.) Another very quick build would be: IMO the best value kits are still Bob Oram's. | |

With 110 square meters on 6.5 ton it has pretty high numbers so light air sailing should be good. IMHO a great option for a low stress low effort cruising rig. Schionning did a 8 meter prototype called the Radical Bay. There are a couple up in Malaysia that race and do quite well, see the Schionning site. Mike
CTMD Naval Architect. The Schionning boats are definately some of the better looking catamaran kitsets on the market and as you say performance is proven. I have been told (but have no first hand experiance) that they take a lot longer to build and typically end up more expensive than claimed.
Schionning is the designer.Waterline is the series, Jeff Schionning has a number of ranges, Wilderness - simple cruisers with performance, flat panel construction Cosmos - a little more criusy Waterline - skinnier hulls more performance less load carrying, still a good cruising boat but you probably need to be a metre or two longer in the waterline than the wilderness to carry similar load.
Wow, first time I have looked at the Schionning site in a while -- he's been busy! Have not run into any of these new designs on the water yet, but look interesting. 15-08-2012, 21:50
