The award-winning Chesapeake 16, 17, 16LT, 17LT and 18 designs from CLC are considered to be the gold standard for hand-made sea kayaks. With their beautiful lines influenced from classic designs that have evolved over thousands of years.
“They’re Stunning, Strong, Light, and Stable. The high-volume bows lift you over rough seas and or power boat wakes while the skeg-like stern prevents weather-cocking in high winds. The cambered decks shed spray, increase storage space inside the hull, add strength without weight, and look absolutely spectacular.
This boat is designed to endure a lifetime of strenuous touring with 4mm-Okoume mahogany hulls and decks, both sheathed with fiberglass. Watertight bulkheads are standard, with deck rigging, adjustable foot braces, and a comfortable seat.
Large storage compartments will absorb enough gear and water for long, unsupported expeditions. Cockpits are large and easy to pad out for a custom fit. The big, comfortable cockpit is an ideal spot to spend a lazy afternoon if multi-week expeditions aren’t your speed”.
Okay, it’s time to select your boat!

The award-winning Chesapeake 16, 17, 16LT, 17LT, and 18 designs from CLC are considered the gold standard for handmade sea kayaks. Over 6,000 boats have been built in over 40 countries, and they all received the same glowing reviews. This is why I decided to build these carefully selected boats or, as my grandfather always said, “If you are going to build something, you might as well build the best!”
