JIMMY SKIFF

Jimmy Skiff : three boats for the price of one! Indeed, this little bare simple sailer is also an excellent rowing boat as well as a light tender... for when you'll have the main boat. Before the advent of the outboard motor, rowing/sailing skiffs were common on the US shoreline, and especially in the Chesapaeke Bay. They were used for crabbing, fishing, transporting goods, and enjoying summer evenings with a friend. Many local kids could row their dad's skiff long before they could ride a [...]

SKERRY

The Skerry is one of the few rowing hulls which are not "spoiled" by the required installations to make it an excellent sailboat. It is the boat for long treks: sailing when the wind is good, rowing when not. In both cases, you'll be going far and fast! The sprit rig is easy to set and to use, powerful for its size, and all the spars are short enough to be stowed without hampering rowing. The hull is stable and offers sufficient of buoyancy to face a good chop with 3 adults on board. Two rowing [...]

WHERRY D'ANNAPOLIS

The Wherry is designed to be used with a sliding seat unit but it can also be rigged for fixed use, solo or double (ligth crews only in the latter case: 160 kg maximum.)

MILL CREEK

Several thousand units of both models of the Mill Creek™ have been buit since their introduction in 1997. This may appear surprising for a "dumb kayak", but there are reasons for this: they look nice, they are easy to build and though they are much more stable than most kayaks on the market, the Mill Creeks™ are fast and nimble.

The Mill Creek™ was designed as a wider, shorter, and more stable alternative to the typical sea kayak. It offers the stability sought by [...]

Canoe
SASSAFRAS

Imagine a boat so light that you can put it on your shoulder and stroll casually down a wooded trail, carry it to a hidden lake or stream, or paddle it with almost no effort. That was the idea behind the original "trapper" or "pack" canoes. CLC's 26-pound Sassafras 12™ carries on the tradition - but with modern building methods.

Though she can be carried, or paddled, by a child, she'll hold a 250-pound load. She tracks well, turns easily, and is stable enough for fishing. For maximum [...]

WOOD DUCK

One must admit that those plastic "seat on top" kayaks are unbeatable to go "rock shaving" with their stable, light and watertight hull. On the other hand, they don't look good and the pleasure to be on the water sitting on a piece of plastic is not the same as it is with a nice looking wooden craft... But the fact is that the current sea kayaks are not fitted to the intimate visiting of the shoreline: too long, too "technic", too unpractical...
Now is the time to stop hesitating or [...]

LITTLE AUK

This lovely little strip-plaked kayak was designed for those who are looking for a light and nimble boat with a strong personality. Its little size makes it easy to handle, be it to put it on a car roof rack or to hoist it on yur yacht's deck. On the water, its little size will let you poke your hull into places forbidden to "regular" kayaks. It is available in 10 foot (3.05 m) or 11 foot (3.35 m) to let you choose between maximum compacity and a slightly larger carrying capacity.

SHEARWATER

Elegant lines result in real performance. The sweeping sheerline complements the nicely balanced ends; there isn't an awkward hump or bump anywhere. The sheer panels are "tumbled home" to reduce windage and improve paddle clearance. Like all Chesapeake Light Craft kayak kits, the decks are smoothly cambered, not cut up into a faceted, homebuilt appearance.

West Greenland-style hulls provide telepathic handling to the skilled paddler, while initial and secondary stability are ample for [...]

CHESAPEAKE

The Chesapeake touring kayaks are icons in the sea kayaking world. Built in the thousands in dozens of countries around the world, the Chesapeakes are solid-tracking, comfortable kayaks that are easy to build but good-looking and delightfully fast. High-volume bows lift you over rough seas--or powerboat wakes--while the skeg-like stern prevents weather-cocking in blustery winds. CLC's signature cambered decks shed spray, increase the storage space inside the hull, add strength without weight, [...]

CHESAPEAKE MULTI

As in the other Chesapeake™ variants, the Double and Triple are built solidly, with epoxy and fiberglass on the inside, outside and deck of the 4mm okoume hull. For safety, watertight bulkheads are standard. The cockpits are deep and snug, with the standard Rapid Pulse backbands offering excellent lumbar support, while the cambered deck affords plenty of paddle clearance.

The Chesapeake Triple™ can accommodate three adults, but we have found over the years that most paddlers will use [...]
