It is impossible to predict the time needed to self build a boat. Quite simply because Einstein's law of relativity applies to it. First, there is the time for reflection before starting, which can go on forever. Then there is the time for fine-tuning, planing to the millimeter, sanding, errors, omissions, adaptations...
But above all, there is a phenomenon that no one talks about, it is the disappearance of tools and the time spent looking for them. We put them in one place but they move on their own, because when we turn around, they are no longer there! It is then necessary to seek everywhere where the pencil, the eraser, the set square are hidden, all of which sneer while waiting to be found. Well, that's how it is with me ; elsewhere in the world, I don't know.
