The C-Lark is an American sailboat, that was designed by Don Clark and first built in 1964.

Production

The design was built by the Clark Boat Company in Kent, Washington, United States starting in 1964 and also by Douglass & McLeod. Production ended in 1979. During its 15-year production run 1400 examples of the design were completed.

Design

The C-Lark is a recreational dinghy, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard keel. It displaces 295 lb.

The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft with the centreboard extended and 0.75 ft with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The design has a hull speed of 5.02 kn. Image:C-Lark racing in Gig Harbor.jpg|C-Lark sailing upwind with the skipper hiking out Image:C-lark 4.JPG|The cockpit of the C-Lark Image:C-Lark (underside).JPG|The underside of a C-Lark
