Here are the specs for the C-Lark 14 sailboat: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/c-lark
Wikipedia also has a page on the Clark 14.

You might do a google search for Clark 14 sailboats to see what info is given.

Not to discourage you, but finding and purchasing replacement mast, boom and centerboard may be difficult and perhaps not cost effective. Does it have sails?

Depending on where you live you might be able to procure these items. Do a search for Clark 14 parts.
There is some info about Clark sailboats online also.

Hope you can find what you need.

Looking for C Lark 14 experts!

Hello all, after acquiring a 1969 C Lark last month that was missing quite a bit of rigging, I've been slowly sorting it together. I would love to talk to the owner of "Invisible Juice", hull number 6 as the pictures of his/her rigging is beautiful. Hoping someone on here might know who it...

The above post might be of interest to you.

Thanks for the link to the specs, We have sails, in fact we have multiple sails. We've searched the web without much success.
Think our next step may be to reach out to sailing clubs.
Appreciate the help

We're in Wisconsin. Any thoughts? I'd be willing to have items custom made if I can get good specs/dimensions.

Got it. I was wondering if you might be in the PNW as there is (at least was until pretty recently) a club on Lake Chelan in eastern WA that had a fleet. It might be worth looking into them. If nothing else they might have specs for you. I also see C-Lark parts turn up on Craigslist here in Seattle once in a while. The centerboard is a pretty heavy chunk of steel if i recall.

Thanks! You've given me another lead. I'll pursue the club for info and check craigslist in the PNW / Seattle (we'll see how shipping is?). Never thought finding parts would be my issue.

I am looking for a set of C-lark sails and found your messages. Let me know if you have a lead on where I can get a used set of C-lark sails.
thanks

Hi, I am here a year over due, but I can measure the details for you, if still needed.

I posted a lot of C-Lark info here.

Just curious as to what happened to the rest of the C-Lark. Know the hull number?

I got it as a used boat. I live on a small lake and sailed it a bit. The boat leaked water into the double hull saturating the foam flotation.

I basically had to cut up the hull to get it out of the water. I believe that the hull # was 254???
The mast and boom are in good condition. One of the spreaders has been lost. However, it can be replaced very easily with a piece of aluminum tubing readily available from Lowes. The sails are usable.

Thanks for replying back. I cut holes in the seats to remove the bags of Styrofoam beads, that were busted and releasing beads everywhere. There's no seal between the upper and lower hull, just a rub strip pop riveted over the joint. They definitely leak when you bury the rail, but it is worth it making the shrouds hum on a close haul. We too live on a small lake, in South Carolina. Missed sailing her last year (had a cover made for her at a Custom Cover Shop that was in no hurry to do the job), but I hope to wet her bottom this year.
