Fringe Boats, Big Ideas: John Harris on Design Curiosity and the Golden Age of Small Craft
Episode 50
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
Send us a textIn Part 2 of my conversation with John Harris of Chesapeake Light Craft, we wander off the beaten path — and that’s very much the point.We talk about some of CLC’s more fringe and less-discussed designs, including Autumn Leaves, and why certain boats exist more as ideas, experiments, or personal projects than as polished kits. John shares the designers who shaped his thinking — Philip Bolger among them — and how those influences still echo through his work today.We also dive into the fascinating outrigger sailing canoe built for Tula’s Endless, what it means to design something truly one-off, and why not every great boat should have plans. Listener questions lead us into a broader discussion about the current small-boat landscape, why we may be living in a golden age of boat designs and accessible plans, and what the future looks like for people who want to build and sail small.It’s a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about curiosity, restraint, and why small boats continue to invite big ideas.-----------------------------------------------------Join the conversation: Facebook group Mailing list PatreonMore at: www.nanocruising.comSeas Your Own Adventure 🌊⛵
