What builders are saying
I am a very satisfied CLC customer - I appreciate the well crafted Peeler Skiff kit and your clear instruction manual. Moreover, I loved the process of building my own boat. I expect to build one of your kayak or paddleboard kits in the near future.
What a great design and a thoroughly enjoyable project! My Peeler Skiff was launched on July 20 this past summer after taking just over 200 hours to complete. The kit was straightforward to build, included first-class quality materials, and was affordable. She's been fitted with Mercury 15-hp outboard, the performance is beautiful.
