From the CLC website:\r\n\r\nChesapeake Light Craft sells plans for the amateur builder. They also maintained a large and busy shop where they build prototypes and the occasional commission. \r\n\r\nOwner and Managing Director John C. Harris manufactured some of the very first CLC kits in 1994. Harris, who is also the company's designer, has a portfolio including every wooden format from strip-planking, cold-molding, carvel, lapstrake, and of course stitch-and-glue. \r\n\r\nCLC is an organization devoted to helping builders of all skill levels. As of Summer 2020, they shipped nearly 40,000 boat kits.
