I'm thinking of building the Passagemaker Standard. Can it all be done by one person, or are their places where you need an extra set of hands? Thanks --

RE: Extra Hands?
It helps to have an epoxy mixer person when you are wetting out alot of cloth. It makes fast work if you have 2 people spreading epoxy and one person mixing. But, to answer your question, it is completly possible to do everything solo mio. JRC
RE: Extra Hands?
Hi Blenheim,
This falls under the FWIW heading, which, when added to $5.20 will get you a cup of coffee.
Most fun I've had building was with two other guys the winter we built 4 boats. Second most fun was helping my girl friend with a strip built Redfish King. (She's now my wife because, not stupid, duh.) Least fun was building a NE Dory all by my lonesome. But hey, it's building stuff, always fun right?
Totally doable. Hardest part to manage solo is inverting the boat. Dig through the forum for a couple of guys who have rigged a webbing strap/pully system for flippage.
Cheers!

It is absolutely possible to build one single handed. I built a NE Dory by myself, the only time an extra pair of hands was helpful was when turning the boat over. A Passagemaker should be a bit easier to flip than the Dory.
