Two full-sized boat kits are currently offered. Kits include all materials except paint, including: marine plywood panels cut to shape, labeled, and pre-drilled; natural wood for chines, gunwales, and cleats; bronze nails; stainless steel screws; hot dipped galvanized oarlocks, sockets, and cleats; stainless steel bow eye; and waterproof glue. Building is done with simple hand tools (hammer, screwdriver, hand plane, sand paper). Some pieces are provided long and are cut after installation with a handsaw. Build time will of course vary, but expect 8-20 hours for Tortoise and 20-50 hours for Teal, plus painting time. Pickup in Reston VA is free, and delivery is available for $40 to locations in the NOVA/DC area. For more details on the models (Tortoise and Teal), see the boats page.
