A Little History

This blog is about the building of the Chesapeake Light Craft www.clcboats.com  "PocketShip". I am new to sailing and recently picked up the sailing bug this past year 2015. Looking for a trailex trailer part, I stumbled upon the CLC website and fell in love with "PocketShip". Now I have the building bug! I purchased the manual and have been reading it as well as reviewing all the blogs I can find on the web. There are a lot of great blogs and I will share the links as well as review them on regular basis in the future.

I attended the CLC open house last Saturday and purchased the plans, a plywood project pack, some MAS epoxy and a piece of Sitka spruce to use for the noseblock. I plan on practicing "fillets" on the project pack and using the spruce to start my build with the nose block. I will probably use some scrap wood to make a practice nose block before cutting into the high dollar spruce. I am hoping to purchase the CLC kit in a few months. In the time being, I am setting up my workspace and purchasing everything I will need. I will post as often as I can.
