whats the real timeframe to build a T38?
I built a Hinemoa 23 in my basement/backyard & launched april 2010, i have a job & so completed it in sparetime & weekends in 10 months, JW estimated 500hrs. For the T38 JW estimates 2200hrs. What say you that have built a T38?

it took my wife and me 2 years and 6 month (70% part-time work) to complete our tiki46....
you can ask a million people how long it will take.... if you can not figure it out your self, because only you know how efficient you work, it will take you a lifetime... study the building plans more then one time and make a task-plan what work you will be do, in with time frame etc... just like everything in life. make a plan and stick to it and you will know when you finish... there is anyway a lot what will happen on the way... this you can not calculate...good luck

Hi Darren. It is now about 7 1/2 yrs later.
How long did your T38 build take in the end?
My wife and I both work and have recently started a T38 build of our own.

Hi Grant,
well things went like this; I eventually decided on an Easy 37 bridgedeck cat, that I started in January ‘14 & launched in June ‘18, enjoying her 1st cruise up the Qld coast now. Somehow all the hours spent fade into insignificance now.
one thing that helped me get started was realizing that it may take 5 years, but if you don’t get started, 5 years will go by anyway. Good luck with your ship Grant, it will be so much more you than a bought one.
