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 the center cockpit for children or pets, or for light gear stowage with a cockpit cover snapped in place. The Triple's ability to carry families with a couple of kids or dogs is a major attraction, but it's too big to paddle singlehanded without auxiliary power unless it's a glassy calm day.
Both the Double and Triple make terrific base hulls for the CLC SailRig, having the volume and waterline length for fast and efficient "beach cruising."
There was a lot of demand but hardly anything like it in 2002 when CLC unveiled the Chesapeake Sport Tandem. This very narrow, very fast double is perfect for athletic couples who want to really cover the miles, whether it's for excercise, super-fast touring, or winning races. Most of our Sport Tandems are sold to people who watched one disappear over the horizon in front of them during a race. While intended for racing or working out, the Sport Tandem can still carry a good load of gear, making it ideal for multiple-day unsupported races like the Watertribe Everglades Challenge.

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 the newly initiated. On the water, the Shearwater demonstrates excellent poise and responsiveness in a broad range of conditions, edging turns easily when leaned buy tracking straight when pushed hard in surf. A cutaway bow and skeg-like stern ensures tracking even in extremely rough water. The relatively low profile means you'll spend less time on corrective strokes and more time covering ground.

This Greenland style kayak is an excellent choice for the long distance tour. The Ysak' lengthy water line makes for good tracking and provides excellent mileage with minimal effort. All models are PE 3 layer sandwich construction giving extra buoyancy and hull rigidity. The Ysak takes an optional rudder and can be generously outfitted.

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, and look great. Chesapeake kayak builders explore quiet local rivers and paddle the length of the Sea of Cortez. Chesapeakes are built in garages, apartments, living rooms, television studios, and at places like the esteemed WoodenBoat School in Maine.

While the CLC SailRig™-equipped kayak is a proper sailboat by any measure, the beauty of the design is that you get your kayak back when you're done sailing. With the SailRig™ removed, all that's left are four eyebolts and an easily hidden mast step: no bulky reinforcements or heavy gear. No worries if the wind dies, because the aka (crossbeam) spacing permits a paddling stroke with the SailRig™ in place.
Fast sailing kayak-trimarans open up all sorts of adventure possibilities. The compact kayak and rig can be cartopped to some far-flung archipelago, assembled on the beach, loaded with gear, and sailed 40+ miles in eight hours. If the wind dies, you paddle. In good weather, long crossings can be contemplated, and a theoretical voyage might carry you 250 miles or more in six days.

The Quest is designed for those paddlers requiring a fast yet stable kayak that is ideally suited to longer open sea crossings and expedition work. Although the same width as the Capella, the Quest benefits from a longer waterline length thus ensuring an excellent turn of speed and smooth transition of choppy waters.
Manoeuvrability is less than kayaks in the exploration category, but more experienced paddlers will find that leaning the kayak produces excellent carved turns. The Quest has slightly increased load capacity over kayaks in the Exploration range.

The 'Cetus' is a fast cruiser designed as a load carrier. It has become the natural choice for paddlers looking for a stable expedition platform or a fast, easy to paddle boat for long distance paddles.
However it's not just a boat for long trips though, it's equally as capable being used as a fast day cruiser. The Cetus sees a resurrection of a concept we were playing around with ten years ago: the fourth hatch in easy reach in front of your cockpit. It's proving more and more popular with paddlers who want somewhere quick and easy to reach to stow a camera or day gear when things are getting a bit rougher.
Expedition capable: The load carrier of choice, the Cetus lets you travel self-supported in comfort with the four hatches it has plenty of storage for equipment.
Effortless distance: The length and 'shallow V-hull' add up to a fast, efficient boat that won't take any time at all to reach the horizon.
Easy to paddle: The fairly wide hull means rock solid stability whether you're travelling loaded or not.

Although the Bahiya is one of P&H's most recent designs, it is aimed squarely at the sea kayaking traditionalists. Low sleek lines ensure the minimum of windage, the distinctive chines and a snug fit means that the kayak responds to every lean whilst its narrow beam ensures it slips effortlessly through the water.
Certainly not a kayak for the beginner, the Bahiya is best suited to experienced paddlers looking for a rewarding kayak to paddle or the enthusiastic intermediate looking for one to stretch them and keep them progressing along a learning curve.

Just like its Cetus composite brother, the Scorpio provides a very efficient hull shape that is super stable and very easy to control.
With a round chined and slightly V'd hull and generous bow rocker the Scorpio runs waves like no other polyethylene boat out there!
Made from our very own Corelite foam core material to save weight, increase toughness and give great stiffness, the Scorpio is a design that will suit both the professional sea kayaker and the individual owner who is looking for a stable and fast kayak for more exposed conditions with greater all round durability that the composite version.

Sleek, nimble, and light-footed~ this silky smooth hull packs surprising speed for its short length. This is partly because of the trim beam, which also helps keep the weight low. Ideal for lighter to mid-weight paddlers, the Bliss can take you to that special "Other Place"~ where the cares and hustle and bustle of the 'real' world just melt away in priceless moments.
The lofty support of the adjustable seat back assures you a life of leisure while you enjoy your Blissful ride. And the seat back folds down easily and securely so you can load large dry bags in the amply-sized stern. There is plenty of room in the rear fishnet pocket to store the water bottle and more.
Adjustable foot braces make it "just your size" and the tie down loops at each end are secure and simple to deal with. A convenient paddle holding ledge on the side of the boat keeps the paddle handy but out of the way when you are busy with other things. At 37 lbs it is a breeze to load, transport, and unload.
This Bliss is about being perfectly adapted to your favorite part of the world. It's about a quiet escape. It's about you. Go ahead~ Bliss out. It's good for you!
