The estimate of: "SG 19 hours 754-943" suprised me considering the Silver Gull design page statement of: "The really big thing though is the extreme simplicity of building the hull. If we assume that you have all materials and tools in hand at the start, two people can build the hull and all the parts for the pilothouse and deck in three days. Actually building the deck and pilothouse will take a little longer. There will probably be more time in the rig and the pattern for the ballast keel than in the main part of the boat." I am seriously considering building this boat and would appreciate any further comment you might care to offer. Let me also ask if the plywood hull is sheathed/ covered in fiberglass inside and out. I'd sure appreciate hearing any updates from John on his Silver Gull if there are any. Thank you, Gene Smith
