This is too weird. It has been a while since I have been to this site and the forums (so long that it was when the forums weren't under this incarnation). I think I remember answering a question like this in the old forums.
What makes it even weirder is that I built C-Larks at Clark Boat Company in New Bern, NC in the mid-1970s. Actually we (the company) did not build too many as we (the company) were working on expanding the larger boat lines 21, 23, 24, 26 & 27.
The C-Lark was sort of a poor-man's International 14. It was designed by Dave (?) Clark along those lines. All of the Clark boys were into racing 14s at one point or another before moving on to other challenges. I don't recall the youngest ones name but he did a stint in Flying Dutchmans at one point.
I didn't get interested in the C-Lark myself as we had an active group of Int. 470s at our local club.
