Randy,
Just a note about the list. I think all of us (and especially me) are
accustomed to hitting the "reply" icon when we respond to email. Very often
we
think we're replying to the list when we're not (we forget about the "reply to
all" icon).
Based on past experience, I think you can expect to spend 9 months to a year
on this project. Some have completed it much faster, however, with a full
time job and a family, I'd plan it that way.
As for cost, some of our more clever builders are making many of their own
parts (forestay fittings, vang arms and levers, spreaders and mainsheets
bases, just to mention a few) and saving a significant amount of money. Their
are
several PDF's on the website and will likely be more in the future regarding
making these parts. If you have some experience this is a good place to
spend some time to save some money.
Guys chime in here with your own experience ("reply all"). Those who are
getting near completion or completed, what are your thoughts?
Best regards,
