1520 Build Time

Let us be clear... it takes a whole lot of work to put one of these kits together. It is not an undertaking for the faint of heart. Estimates from Schionning to build the Solitaire 1490 are around 6000 man hours, but we figured it would take us at least 10,000 to build our Solitaire 1520 since we are not professionals and this is a somewhat different boat.

Build Time Breakdown:

The estimate above of 6 to 10 thousand hours to build our Solitaire 1520 is to the shell of the boat completed. There is more work to be done to finish the boat, adding all the propulsion, electrical, navigation, plumbing, etc. To we don't have any idea how long that will all take!

Now, those original shell build numbers are in 'man hours' as if one person were building the whole boat. We are a team of two people, with occasional helper crew.

But, the original estimates were for a boat that has never been built before and will be done by DIY builders who have never constructed a boat this large. So, in the end, it will be done when it's done :)
