Building our nesting sailingy dinghy (Spindrift 10)

Complete documentation of building our nesting sailing dinghy, a Spindrift 10N. Note, I did not intend to make a video of this build at the start, and as a result, much of the early footage is poor quality. I also am not intending for this to be a "how-to", but more provided an overview of what's involved. There are a few useful tips strewn throughout though that may help another builder or provide inspiration. FAQ: 1. Are you that guy from the Adventures of Tarka? Yes. It's been a minute, hasn't it? 2. How much did it cost? I think the kit was a little north of $1000, and other supplies like epoxy, fiberglass, and 2-part polyurethane probably totalled around $500 or a little more. 3. How long did it take? I didn't track my hours, but it took a long time given I only worked on it 8 hours or so each weekend. I think it could be done in 2-3 weeks working on it full time for an experienced builder, and 3-5 weeks for the new builder. These assume 8 hour days and appropriate weather for reasonable epoxy cure times. 4. What would you do differently? When I first wnet to "unfold the boat" the ply near the bow snapped under the stress. This area definitely needs support in this process, and on my second attempt I used wet rags and steam to help it bend. Also, be wary of using old shirts as rags to wipe down surfaces with acetone prior to epoxying. I have found lingering detergents in the shirts can leach out in this process and actually make it very difficult for epoxy to stick to your surface.
