Building Shearwater Sea Kayaks at Chesapeake Light Craft: Stitch and Glue Boatbuilding

Over the last 15 years, CLC boatbuilding classes have launched 900 boats and introduced more than a thousand students to the joys of boatbuilding. CLC has been hosting and teaching build-your-own-boat classes since 1994. Our talented professional instructors will help you assemble your own boat from start to finish. Most classes are 5-1/2 days---a perfect one-week vacation, with your own boat to take home, ready for finish work. View CLC's current class schedule at http://www.clcboats.com/classes

One of the most popular kayaks CLC has ever offered, the Shearwater is an elegant, performance-oriented touring kayak. The "tumble home" sheer panel reduces windage and improves paddle clearance. The Shearwater features CLC's trademark cambered deck. The West Greenland style hard-chined hull has naturally easy and controllable handling for the skilled paddler and comfortable stability for the newer paddlers. The hull shape ensures good tracking even in windy and rough conditions.

The deck is cut from "Sapele" mahogany plywood for extra good looks and natural contrast with the Okoume hull and sheer panel. The clean lines of the Shearwater make it one of the "sexiest" kayaks on the market. Learn more about CLC's Shearwater Kayaks here: http://www.clcboats.com/shop/stitchandgluekayaks/shearwaters/
