Developed by Chesapeake Light Craft, LLC, with designer Eric Schade, the 14′6″ Shearwater Sectional is a performance-oriented kayak that successfully bridges the gap between high performance, comfort, and stability.
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.
Full-sized patterns for molds, so lofting is not required. Construction: Carvel-planked over steamed frames. Alternative construction: Lapstrake or strip. Plans include 4 sheets.
Designed as a cat schooner; both sails have big round poles at their leading edges. Considering the performance potential of this hull, this rig is appropriate. The stayless rig is clean and will be cheap to build with solid fir poles.
The North Sea 29 is a centerboard boat designed for sailing in the rough North Sea. She’s a fairly heavy displacement boat that will prove a very capable ocean cruiser.
The Northeaster Dory is small enough to be rowed singly, but big enough for tandem rowing with two adults. Even four adults have comfortable seating. Performance rowers may add a sliding seat.
Kingfisher’s shape was inspired by famous Chestnut Prospector. Hull width of 93cm, flat bottom and slim shape gives good stability and maneuverability. It is designed for crew of 2 with additional equipment (tents, fishing rods…).
After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
Spray 52 is available as a Wood / Epoxy plan and full size frame patterns.
Sweet-lined Acorn skiff designed by Iain Oughtred, completed in 1999 but still like new.
