A new teardrop kit from clc, Chesapeake light craft

Clc is one of the largest kit boat makers, feeding sheets of marine plywood into a cnc and shipping the precision cut kits out.
I stumbled onto tnttt.com through a link on a boat builders site. There seems to be a common attraction to tears and boats for many builders.
As far as their design, I think it needs to be more finished looking, the galley is tiny, the doors too far forward, and I believe foam is the best tear making stuff in the world.
I also wonder about the kit cost using marine plywood. I think they could have a winner, with a better design. A close copy of a traditional design would be the ticket IMO.

Interesting concept. Stitch and glue construction and clearly designed to be used removable on a small boat trailer. Those that keep looking for the removable option may find it most interesting.
