Does anyone have any information on him or his designs? I believe most of his designs are dated close to 1900, plus or minus.
Any books out there, articles?

Thanks,

Andy

I can't say I found much, and some of these are the same boat, but maybe it will help/is new to you.

Pain Clark beauty spotted on the Walton Backwaters, England, August 2005, anyone know her? Can't make out the name on the original. Presume once gaff? Gorgeous anyway.

Striking! Thank you for the links and image. One of the links is to a sailing canoe that has captivated me to the point of wanting to build a modern replica. It is this boat that has me wanting more information on this designer.
The drawings shown for the Clark RCC sailing canoe seem incomplete. In the two views of the boat, the coaming is shaped differently, which leads me to believe the design may never have been built. I can't imagine how she was to be planked in 1900. The shape of her stern looks difficult to develop. I have been considering strip planking, covered in glass. To this end, I have been trying to redraw her in AutoCAD, using examples developed with modern techniques, in part to keep her light and cartoppable.
If any more comes to your attention regarding Mr Clark, please let me know.

Thank you,

Andy
