... or the Wooden Boat Effect, as some folks know it.
I had my Brand X sailing dinghy out for a sail today on the Severn River across from the US Naval Academy (that's the spot where the video of the NE Dory with John and Dave rowing was shot) and 3 different people not only asked me if I had built it, but if it was a CLC design. I had to admit that it wasn't, but I did point out that all the wood and a good part of the rest of the materials came from CLC.
I guess CLC owns that stretch of the Severn.
