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.

And as most Pocket-captains discover the ship can a be a bit leeward. I sailed the new configuration and it it performs much better in my opinion. What a comfort: such a stability, easy en better turning in tacking. The boat now almost sails itself. What a ship! Just sail and trim a bit here and there.
