Agreed. I think I mentioned it elsewhere but the thought of a VT winter without a boat to build is truly chilling. This one will provide relief for the next 2-3 winters by the time I get it sail-able.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Definitely not, you're in very "good" company here. Good-n-Crazy! Though you're now in the 30'-40' crazy, I'm in <16' crazy.

no one ever questioned fuzz's sanity... we all assumed it's been missing for decades.

And I don't think you (VTJ) can say "<16' crazy". Add up all your linear boatage and you are in the same boat as fuzz (metaphorically). At least until he adds up his total footage. If he does that, there will be serious questions asked.
My already completed 'Lil Bit'. A Martens Goosen V12 set up to sail me to the fishing holes.
Currently working on making a Helms 24 our coastal cruiser.

That puts me at about 60' without any whitewater boats or SUP's. I've definitely got B.O.A.T.S.

All you with your room for multiple boats. I'm lucky to be able to do the one I got in my garage.

I hate HOAs...

How about you guys that get to use your boats 12 months/year? At least that's my impression, maybe the heat index makes that less likely.

Middle of the summer at high noon can be a bit rough. It's bearable as long as you're catching fish.
