Expedition Rowboat Kit

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Chesapeake Light Craft, who are now manufacturing and shipping our kits. Kits can be purchased either as CNC-cut plywood parts only, or as full kits including epoxy, fiberglass, and other required materials.

Ordering kits is now a simple two-step process. The first step is ordering the digital plans and manual (including DXF cut files) from us, and the second step is ordering the kit directly from CLC.

Alternatively, paper plans can be ordered instead of digital plans. While these are not required for a kit build, they do provide the option of building the boat entirely from scratch.

Digital or paper plans must be purchased first, and CLC will confirm with us that plans have been purchased prior to cutting the kit. Digital plans can be ordered

 from this page

Costs are as follows:

Digital Plans:                              $189

Wood Parts-Only Kit:                  $725  (plus $189 digital plans)

Complete Kit:                                $1740  (plus $189 digital plans)

Shipping:                                   CLC will calculate shipping to your location, and provide rates

Steps for ordering kit. 

    1)  Purchase digital plans from our digital plans page (or paper plans)

2)   Contact CLC here put your order through for a complete kit or wood-parts-only kit and make payment directly to CLC
