New Kayak

The new boat is finally done. I say finally, because it's been a long time coming. It's been nearly 18 months on this one. I knew it would be on the market when finished and I lost motivation to get her done. I really don't want to see her go, but it's for sale. It's a CLC Chesapeake 16LT. They are wonderfully versatile boats. I use mine regularly on local flat water and have even launched into chest-high surf on several occasions.

She is of okoume (African Mahogany) plywood construction completely sheathed in layers of fiberglass fabric and epoxy. All hull seams have 3" fiberglass tape reinforcement internally. The hull is painted with marine polyurethane and the deck is bright finished with marine varnish. Watertight bulkheads and hatches, deck rigging, and adjustable footbraces installed. Included, but not installed: thigh braces, back band, and foam seat.
