There are four pages and they measure 914 × 610 mm (36″ × 24″). They are in PDF format that can be viewed using Adobe Reader. These study plans are intended to give you an overview of the construction of the boat. This manual does not contain the plans of the panels with the cutting instructions so it is not possible to build the boat from scratch using only this manual. If, later, you decide to purchase the kit the cost of this printed manual will be deducted from the kit price. It is the manual that accompanies the kit. Reading this manual will help you decide whether or not you can build the boat kit. This is intended for pre-build study or to help with the decision to purchase the kit. The plans and manual contain sufficient information on the cutting of the panels to make it possible to build the boat from scratch rather than a kit. The plans include full-size drawings for every part in the boat. Please note that, as a CLC Pro Kit, the manual for this boat assumes prior knowledge of stitch-and-glue techniques. It is 34 pages and well illustrated in full colour. The manual is the same one that is included in the kit. You are, of course, very welcome to collect the kit from our Lake District workshop.

In trials we saw 24 mph (just under 21 knots) with a 25 HP motor.Īs one of CLC's ProKit range, this kit is not recommended for first-time builders. She isn't much slowed by a crew of three adults, either. The boat is well-behaved in general and doesn't skid in turns. The boat is named after the Rhode River, where CLC have launched many of their new prototypes over the years. The plywood panels are sheathed in transparent fibreglass to produce a stiff and strong hull. The topsides use CLC's LapStitch™ construction for a classic clinker appearance, while the bottom panels form a smooth v-shape with 12.5° of deadrise at the transom. The CNC-cut panels are assembled using the stitch-and-glue method to naturally form the correct hull shape, without needing any sort of building mould. It is a smooth-running powerboat that is light, durable and fast, thanks to its modern plywood and fibreglass composite construction. The deep sheer line is unusual in a retro runabout – she looks almost Norwegian at idle speed.
