Something interesting on the webcam
looks like a 20' hull on the work table. Anyone know what they are building?

On the table behind the dory's, under the hanging boats. Long hull, length is made up of 5 panels.

I asked John about it a while back on CLC's facebook page, he was politely evasive. Sounded like he wanted it to be a surprise.

In the memorable words of the late Roy Scheider: ""You're gonna need a bigger boat"
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
It's a pretty awesome boat that they are prototyping. We got to see it in the beginning stages of build up while taking a Shearwater course with the production manager a couple weeks ago.

All will be revealed. Make sure you have purchased your CLC Decoder Ring, and await instructions.

It's the WD-Q (Wood Duck Quad) which will debut at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival on October 2nd. A 24-ft 4-holer with sail rig and provision for a 2-hp outboard or an electric drive. Can be paddled solo by 500-lber's with show size up to 23, or by lighter boaters who tuck their mother-in-laws into the back hole.
You heard it here first!

The obvious question is why? Is this the divorce boat for 4 marriages?

Especially since a boat clause should be standard in any decent PreNup
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
i saw it today and got a look at the plans and know sorta what it is but don't know if i should say.
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
John just let the cat out of the bag in the CLC spam. It's a 30-ft proa.
Personally, I think that the WD-Quad might be more practical :-)
Just kidding!
It'll be interesting to see how this goes. Good luck, John.

Ok, NOW what are they building?
My money is on the tandem wherry this time. Its a little shorter than the 30' Proa, looks beamy enough to be a wherry, the strakes are the right size...we'll know when the transom comes out.

"we'll know when the transom comes out"
As the actress said to the bishop...
...Boom!

Speaking of new prototypes, whatever happened to the CLC Adirondack Guide Boat? I saw one at the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, but haven't heard a peep about it since.
Take care,
Mike
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
No.
It was a 15' S&G open (except, IIRC, for little AGB "decks" at the very ends) double-ender, displayed near the booth and on the water, and described by a CLC representative as a new Adirondack Guide Boat. I'm not that familiar with this industry, but based on experience with other trade shows I thought / hoped that CLC was using the appearance to begin marketing the new kit, plans, or whatever. Unfortunately, ever since then I haven't seen a single mention on the website, nor heard anyone question why not in the forum.
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
Jayhawk is right, it's the tandem wherry. I was down there today and they let me take a peek.
RE: Something interesting on the webcam
It appears Laszlo @ Fri, September 3 » 5:16 PM nailed it (whatever 'nails' are, in an S&G community.) Perhaps he 'copper-wire-twisted' it.
Read the new link on the right - 'The Life of Boats'. It explains all.
Interestingly, the "gigantic kayak" theory is both right, and wrong.
Maybe John should christen the vessel "Schrödinger".

That is a NE Dory class.
