Hi everyone. I will be building a boat for my next project and was wondering if there are any other boat builders on the forum in or near NC.

I've pretty much narrowed down the project to be built from plans by Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC). I will be building their Northeaster Dory. It is a 17 foot sail or row. I plan on starting shortly after the new year and hope to have her capable of being rowed by late Spring with the intent of having her ready to sail before the end of summer.

Other than a simple pirogue I built about 15 years ago, this will be my first boat build.
