Repeating one of our very successful course offerings, we are again providing an opportunity for you to build the boat of your choice from the wide variety of designs available from Chesapeake Light Craft. See http://www.clcboats.com/ for selection of kits. Pre-course consultation is available on design selection and construction procedures.
