About me
John C. Harris designed and built his first boat, a rowing shell, at age 14. John is celebrating his 30th year at Chesapeake Light Craft. As CLC's owner he's designed some of the most popular wooden boats in the world, and shipped more than 50,000 build-your-own-boat kits. His interests range from solar-powered racing boats to big multihulls to the classic smallcraft found in Chapelle's books. He credits some of his success to his music degree, as it taught him that all artists—including builders of wooden boats—must suffer.
