FALCO singlehanded skiff

These completely new designs were developed at CLC in response to a growing constituency of skilled paddlers seeking waterborne sports cars for racing, exercise, or just plain fun.

This design came about when I got to thinking about having an elegant dinghy for our 34′ Topsail Ketch Sunrise.

A series of Catamaran Houseboats/canal boats has been designed with electric propulsion.

The boats have been designed to meet dimensional restrictions of the french canal waterways, however the design can be easily adapted to other inland waterway requirements.

A Visayan sailing outrigger of Sulu sea, Philippines. An ancient but complex watercraft that is ubiquitous to this island nation. Sailing the exotic patriarch of multihull tribe is a different adventure that you would like to do.

This 16' x 21" [4.9m x 53cm] strip planked kayak is adapted to comfort and responsiveness in active water. The nearly plumb bow and stern provide a long waterline in a compact package, allowing a good turn of speed in manageable size.

Developed by Chesapeake Light Craft, LLC, with designer Eric Schade, the 14′6″ Shearwater Sectional is a performance-oriented kayak that successfully bridges the gap between high performance, comfort, and stability.

Beamier, but no less elegant than the Wee Rob, this more stable double-paddle canoe can carry sail better.Any of the three lengths (13′ 6″, 15′ 8″, or 17′ 3″) can be built using the same plans.You’ll notice the different stem patterns on plans page 5...

This is my latest design for the Twopointfour metre class. An easy to build lowbudget boat ment to be competetive on the race course.

Lapstrake is a forgiving building method. The overlapping spruce planks allow for a little error when installing, which gives the classic canoe an extra layer of peace of mind when you’re on the water.
