All pieces are numbered for easy identification. Total time to finish the boat just prior to painting is about 300 hours. From what I can see in the photographs, none of the high-tolerance woodworking normally associated with boatbuilding is required in this project. So we have a plywood kit boat. Close your eyes for a moment and The H22 has smooth and clean lines with no hard chines or slabbish flat panels in the topsides.
Photos show the finished boat to have the look of a molded boat.
Now introduce Rob Humphreys as the designer. Humphreys has drawn very goodlooking boats for a long time. His skill is very evident in the look and style of the H22. Lately, I have seen several boats going together from pre-cut panels supplied by the designer. It is an interesting exercise, but too often these boats have the look of designer's geometry experiments.
