Hey folks,

I'm taken by the Lake Union Swift, and intend to purchase the kit as a retirement present to myself, though not for a year or more.

I haven't seen any build blogs or sailing videos on it yet, and wondering if anyone has any experiences (and photos!) to share, even if they're still in the building stage.

I built two CLC Chesapeake kayaks, but those were 20+ years ago, so I'm a little concerned about the ProKit not having as much detail as the regular CLC kits.&nbsp; I've purchased the manual, though, and it looks manageable, but I suspect I'll run into some issues where consulting with fellow builders here will be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

&nbsp; &nbsp;Just finished the hull. Starting on the spars. I did post a monthly Timelapse if you want to flip through them. I'll post June in the next few days. Here's a link to the first one.&nbsp;[https://youtu.be/yeFpkNQyW0U](https://youtu.be/yeFpkNQyW0U)&nbsp;I'm assuming you can get to the rest from there.
