50 hrs, according to Bjorn Thomasson
"The building time may vary (experienced builders finish a kayak in some 50 hours, first-time builders may need 150 hours, and a few with a pedantic approach may spend 500 hours)"One simple question ?
How can you make money building a boat like the Black Pearl?
Even if you charged $5000 plus material and completed it in 300 hours , that is just a little over fast food money.
I guess I asking how manny hours does it take a professional builder to build a stripper?
I'd like to see the time sheet for that 50 hour build of a strip-planked Black Pearl, to what most folks would describe as 'a professional standard"."The building time may vary (experienced builders finish a kayak in some 50 hours, first-time builders may need 150 hours, and a few with a pedantic approach may spend 500 hours)"
Bjorn Thomasson about building the Black Pearl
Yes, Bjorn Thomasson is very helpful (and thoughtful, and very fluent in English) and a talented designer. I've built several of his designs.Strip built. He doesn't offer any other plans although, he mentions, they exist. You can contact him directly if you wish. He answered all my questions immediately.
