#Waverover #Forgeyourownadventure
In this video, I take a road trip with Andy Dize (Wave Rover Naval Architect) to Annapolis. While there we stop in at Chesapeake Light Craft ( www.clcboats.com ) for a guided tour of their amazing small craft plywood kit production. We also get a glimpse of what the future of sailboat cruising looks like as we hear from their head designer and Naval Architect John Harris (also the owner of CLC). Forge Your Own Adventure"

CLC to offer WR as a kit?

@lindamanderson62 7 месяцев назад

My uncle George Skerry (Lot 16) used to build boats - I remember well the excitement of launching day --all us kids running behind the big fishing boat being hauled by a tractor down to the shore - it was very exciting!! I remember watching the keel go in to this huge container filled with steam when we'd visit our uncle in his shop-- this was to curve the keel for the bow - really wish we'd had cameras back then but we were young...and poor...we lived down the road from my Aunt and Uncle - she knit mittens and hooked rugs, he built boats and carved decoys which are extremely rare and valuable now. Oh wow - thanks for triggering some memories - loved the video as always!!

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing those rich memories with us!

Great video Alan, John Harris is far too modest. As a designer, all his boats are not only beautiful, great preforming crafts, but his genius has allowed regular folks to forge their own adventure. I could not agree more with his assessment on where watercraft is heading in North America. Thanks for taking us along.

I built their CLC teardrop camper. Also, I built the Eastport Nesting Pram from plans. I decided to build the teardrop, because I built a couple of kayaks, from a different company, that use the stitch and glue method of construction. Why not a camper! I have to admit, it is an addicting process. CLC’s customer service is great also.

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing that.

I took last year off from being on the water with any of our watercraft. I expected to use at least the kayaks, but that did not happen. My 19' O'Day and 22' Capri are on trailers in the yard. My Catalina 310 is on its stands in my yard since 2021. I planned some refitting (mostly done now) and working at my "retired mode" pace. The costs for the marina and storage do add up for the Catalina 310, but I want to use it to forge my adventures during the next ten years or so.

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

When forging your own adventure, you are most likely underway and using your anchor rather than marinas. Marinas and mooring fields can really soak up your funds. That and maintenance on larger boats

@jepomer 7 месяцев назад

@@SailingWaveRover - My adventures are short ones. But as time goes by, the adventure lengths have been increasing. I have found that solo sailing gets me out much more than trying to coordinate with someone else.

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

@@jepomer absolutely! Too difficult to coordinate schedules,weather, etc. I enjoy solo sailing and I can share it with the Rover community via RU-vid.

That was a great video, wish it was longer. My father use to repair wooden fishing boats, he had a grade 4 education. But he could repair almost anything! I helped him build a 14' row boat,I learned a lot from him. I would love to build another small sailboat around 16-18' . What is your sailing plan, going south for the winter? From the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your story. You don't need a PhD to have an education.

@robingraham6820 7 месяцев назад

Is the big news that CLC will be supplying Wave Rover 650 kits? Now that would get your armada up and running.😊

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

I can neither confirm nor deny

@robingraham6820 7 месяцев назад

@@SailingWaveRover Ha Ha. CLC certainly has a profile that would help get the WR 650 “out there.” I think she is a game changer for this end of the market. Super safe and very ocean capable, yet would serve well for coastal and inland waters. Affordable with a modest budget and easy to build, especially with your vast instructional videos on Utube. I really would love to build one, she ticks all my boxes. Maybe if I rob a bank, just a small bank😉. Anyway, looking forward to enjoying your adventure.

@Itssmial_Ova 7 месяцев назад

I hope that if Wave Rover gets a CNC pattern it would be avaliable for purchase. I live on the opposite side of the world but could contract a local cnc shop.

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

Howdy, been building Michalak a Bolger boats. Rumour has it that John Harris is a Bolger disciple, if that's true God Bless him. I like your Autumn Leaves model, but there is one prototype on your website, kinda hard to find, called Pocket change. I hope you offer these plans for sale some time, otherwise I have to "back engineer it."

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

I'll mention that to John next time we are chatting.

@jacquesgallant4671 7 месяцев назад

Once the WR kits are for sale, would CLC have estimated time to build the kit to completion, that is strictly build only

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

I don't think that they could provide that info. Based on my own experience. Without a kit the hull and deck could be completed in about 4-5 months.

@liwoszarchaeologist 7 месяцев назад

"build a bunch of them, because you can just pile them up in the backyard" As much as I'd love to do that, after the second boat my partner will ensure I'm sleeping in the pile of boats instead of inside.

Hey Alan🙋hope all is well! Where are you now and when are you leaving the states? Are you going to sail down the coast or head east from up here. I'd still like to get to see you before you leave! Stay safe and thanks for the share 👍😁

@SailingWaveRover 7 месяцев назад

I just left a few days ago and flew home to PEI for Christmas. I'll be back after winter to continue the adventure. I will be giving a big update on next years program in a few weeks.

Why are you talking like you are in the library? Fun episode. I purchased the plywood for my hard dodger from them. They are a good supplier of marine ply.

That's funny, I didn't realize it. I'm not used to talking in a public place.
