That moves nicely through the water despite the chop.

I'm still paddling the Cape Charles kayak I built over 20 years from CLC plans. Still getting comments about how nice it looks, even though it has imperfections that resulted from my lack of skill. Thanks for all the great work, CLC.

I think perhaps that it is genetically impossible to do this and not have a smile that wraps complete 360 degrees completely around your head. I don't think it can be done...

my dad ,a waterman who worked the Chesapeake bay, built me a 14 ft skiff like that when I was 11 five horse sea king outboard man I was in heaven!

That's my idea of a boat! Seaworthy, row and sail. Can be used to go fishing, camping, picknicking.

THE question........ Would denim fabric be suitable to replace fiberglass...or is it really a bad idea?

sanding is fun gggrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! 😭😅

Awesome… I’m still trying to get my CLC Dory done, can’t wait. Nice boat !

Tempting. Im working on restoring a tahiti ketch, but wanna build a simple little sailboat to putter around Cape Cod Bay on in the meantime. Would you guys sell the lug rig kit without the mast, since I already have a suitable spar for that purpose?

Far out , man !!! … that’s moving with the sail !!!

I should finish building mine by the end of the month. Thank you for the motivation.

Robust designs, easy to build, lightweighted, good looking ... that's CLC. I enjoy my Dory mainly as rowboat, but she also sails nice :-)

Hello Harris! good navigation, I see you got your ass a little wet.. hahaha

I built a skerry 3 summers ago. I had a great time building it! It's a good sailor in light to moderate wind and rows beautifully.

Good choice of music.

I am sorry, but it needed to be more aligned with the "Downloadable-Printable personal device flotation" (D-P.pdf). This is way too realistic and plausible a self-irony, making the humor too subtle for today's day and age :) You done used a fine-sharpened engraving burin, when a sledgehammer was called for there, mister!

how often does one need to revarnish/touch up year to year if that's the route they choose?

Interesting. One concession to stitch and tape plywood: Symmetrical hull shape in cross section. Traditional Polynesian proas were asymmetrical, flatter on leeward side, rounded on the windward side, producing lift to windward. Thus the traditional shape is actually more hydro-dynamically sophisticated; cut by hand with adze.

Fantastic! I want one, maybe two. Was the camera gyro-stabilized? It caught the dynamics of the scene perfectly - giving the feeling of actually riding in the boat very realistically. A real beauty, a mere 900 years old. Like I said, I want one.

sure is a cutie !!! … wish it were a 20 footer !!!

The next replica should be a Spanish Caravelle. Maybe a replica of Columbus's Nina?

They make a spinnaker for that; then you would really be moving!

Who knew that Vikings invented rockets in the 12th century?

just awesome

I so wish there was a class near me.. Im hour and half south/east of Kansas City Missouri.. Bet their d be lotta people in the Truman lake area that woukd be interested in building one.

I like how the boom is not going to knock some sense into you if you forget to duck!

Well, aren't you funny! Nice pallet, though.

Chesapeake Light Craft the inventor and leading manufacturer of Transit Platform Kits.

Do you ship to Canada? I'll take 10.

Making a pallet from an old boat

of course April fools day. I'm so stupid

is this joke?

Is there also a "Non Sinkable" version available? What a treat!

Hopefully every April 1st we will continue to celebrate the launch of high quality, and elegant transit platforms!

Does the 10% off sale and free shipping on kits apply to the Transit Platform ?

April fools😂

Hilarious. Thanks! If it were only true imagine you could build a boat by collecting discarded pallets!

Do you have specs for the beam, LOA, and draft? Thx. Also plz state clearly that this is obviously for inland waterways, NOT coastal cruising. You wouldn't want someone to get the wrong impression.

Now a kit to make a boat from pallets would be good.

April Fools!!!

and they made the effort to actually make a really nice looking pallet, lol. A+

Excellent.

This might be beyond my craft-ability. Can I order pre assembled?

I notice some scow influence in the "bow", lots of centerboard location options to get it balanced. Brilliant!

I'll buy your entire stock, thank you!

Can't wait to take the CLC pallet building class!

Love it, perfect day for it too 😂😂😂

Ha. Nice. I was looking for the screwdriver to slip off the head to really give it that hand built touch.

Someone had custom Transit Platform at the Camden Boat Show a few years back, but that one had bungs over the screws and the owners name in gold leaf. Really nice stuff.

John, Kathie and I need a pallet 21 feet by 12 feet to ship our Wharram Tiki 21. How many pallets will be needed to ship our kit? Most excellent video!
