Stitch & glue, cable ties?--build time?

the usual estimate is half the time for the plywood, the other half for
the rest (gunwales, seats, oarlocks, etc.), and then the sailing rig is
extra if you want to sail the boat. seems all of the little pieces have
to be cut at some angle other than 90 degress to fit the curved hull.

You know, I really tried not to write this, but demons possessed me.

Acquiring materials: 1/4 time
Cleaning the shop: 1/4 time
Measuring and cutting: 1/4 time
Assembling the hull, removing mistakes, and assembling again: 1/2 time
Acquiring, fitting, and installing all the fiddly bits: 1/2 time
Sanding: 1-1/2 times
Finishing, sanding, and finishing: 1 time
Allowance for extra sanding: 1 time

You can see that any boat takes 5.25 times longer to build.
