microBootlegger Solo
Designed by Nick Schade
A 14 ft strip-planked single by Nick Schade, sold as plans and kits by Chesapeake Light Craft. It follows his microBootlegger tandem in borrowing the look of a 1920s mahogany runabout, and is close to a decked double-paddle canoe: 26 in wide with a large 35 by 19 in cockpit, stable and roomy but narrow enough to paddle all day. Maximum payload is 250 lb. It can be built with a smaller keyhole cockpit for rock-garden play, and stripped in mahogany for the runabout look or in cedar.
CLC rates it advanced and estimates 180 hours. Hours recorded by builders of this design are shown below.
What building a microBootlegger Solo actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
