Ive got the wood milling for a sampan that i scaled up to thirty feet.

a couple of questions...
how old are you? (no I'm not being a smartass)
how long do you predict it would take to build these two boats?

I ask because I'm _seized_ with the notion of building the last boat I'll
own. I'm 54, a few years from retiring and despite the siren call of the
wood boat, I'm all too aware of the number of boats out there whose
construction/restoration/refitting eats up a decade of the owner's
life...and then goes on the market because of health/life issues.
