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.

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.

Laguna, a super-light single touring kayak in carbon-aramide or GFK. Based on the Yukon shape, the Laguna is primarily suited for smaller and medium rivers and lakes. The keel is not as pronounced as on the longer touring kayaks, which gives the Laguna greater agility. Even slight impacts on the edges noticeably reduce the curve radius. So it is a lot of fun to maneuver the Laguna around tights bends. The weight of the carbon boat is approx. 18.5 kg. The handling of this lightweight is easy, loading on and off the car roof no longer a problem.

The T 400 is an easy-to-handle and elegant touring kayak. It is ideally suited for shorter tours on lakes and rivers. The T 400 is relatively wide, which signifies a stable position in the water.

The equipment, including the PRIJON Deck-Box, leaves nothing to be desired.
