I’m about 3/4 finished with my first CLC kit build—a Chesapeake 16 kayak. I’ve had a few questions along the way and the staff has been responsive and helpful—not a hint of the sort of “not THIS dumb question again” attitude one might expect from guys who have so much experience.

Am just about done with my Skerry from the March class. Andrew lead a wonderful week and gave us a great foundation. The kit was simple to assemble and the rest of the finish has been pretty flawless (except for the weather). Amazing kit and staff

Mill Creek 16.5 Hybrid complete kit. very well planned out kit. Extreemly accurate panels made assembly easy and straight. With the exception of epoxy, there were no shortages of supplied materials and hardware. The epoxy shortage was my doing. this kayak was a pleasure to put together and something to be proud of while on the water.

In the 21st century - it should take a month to get a SUP kit. Collected their 1200 payment quick though!

I really enjoy working with my hands and also love boating as a hobbie best of both worlds I guess!
