Come see us at the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic, CT June 25-27. We'll be at booth 56A in the big tent, and we'll also be helping Family Build Weekend participants construct 8-10 Sassafras 16 canoes with our friends from Chesapeake Light Craft.
Recently, our blog featured the Chesapeake Light Craft Sassafras 16 canoe. We began building one of our own last week, and came a long way on it in three very short days thanks to CLC's exclusive LapStitch™ construction scheme. CLC's LapStitch is essentially a stitch-and-glue construction method devised especially for lapstrake designs. With these CLC kits you can quickly build a round-bottomed, traditional looking lapstrake boat without a using molds or complex rolling bevels. The result is a stiff, strong, leakproof and beautiful boat.
