Chesapeake Light Craft
The Best Boats You Can Build
We are excited to announce a partnership
with Bob Emser and his YouTube channel,
The Art of Boat Building. This step-by-step series will document the construction of two kayaks: a Wood Duck stitch-and-glue (above) and an Auk 11 strip-planked (below), providing a side-by-side comparison of these techniques.
Chesapeake Light Craft is your source for boat kits, kayak kits, boat plans, and boatbuilding materials. Our original, award-winning boat designs include kayaks, canoes, rowing boats, dinghies, and sailboats. More than 40,000 CLC boats have been built from kits and plans. Our designs are built by amateurs and professionals alike in more than 70 countries around the world.
