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 top model represents what I settled on as a color scheme for "Luna." I made a total of 4 (see previous post) models to help develop a color scheme I liked. Unfortunately, the green isn't represented well in these photos. The post below shows the full sized, "Luna" with better color accuracy. Bob
Beautiful! Thanks for posting. I would love to make one of these (and probably will, when I get around to it!). I like how you went about making the templates.
