The Guider · new build
Launched4th boat. Biggest and most complex boat I have built.
I pulled apart the pallet. The major components are all cut from about 9 full-sized sheets of Okoume marine plywood of various thicknesses. The parts have retaining tabs to hold them in the plywood. Once everything is freed from the sheets, there are some usable bits left behind. I have cut the biggest bits out of this waste and saved them. Then I organized all the parts and laid them out in some kind of order for assembly
Shipping added 15.5% on top of the goods: the cost most people forget when they price a kit boat.
