Welcome to PocketShip.net! This bulletin board is for builders of the Chesapeake Light Craft-John C. Harris "PocketShip" design, a 15-foot micro cruiser sailboat built from a kit or plans.
This site gathers PocketShip builders in one place. Here you can share photos, tips, questions, and---eventually---your sailing adventures in PocketShip! CLC will also post design updates and tips here as they come up.

The plans call for the centerboard to be made of 2 pieces of 9mm (3/8") glued together. Anyone see any problem with making the centerboard from just a single piece of 18mm (3/4")?
G’Day mate, Using two 9mm pieces allows easy rebating the slot for the lead section. I also think two 9mm pieces laminated together give a much stronger and straighter centreboard, just my thoughts. Cheers mate
