The Eternal Instant Boat?

Hi All,
I started building a Gypsy about 15 years ago at evening classes in
London. Unfortunately the classes closed down at about the same time
as my business rolled over and stuck its legs in the air. Since then
the hull has been stored in a succession of generally damp garages,
courtesy of various long suffering friends.
Happily however, I am now in a position to carry on with the project
and hope to go sailing later this summer.
I can't help wondering... Is 15 years and counting a record for
an "instant" boat? Apart from that, it's nice to be back.
Good luck to you all with your projects. I look forward to posting
some pictures of the launching.
Tony
