NYCkayaker CLC Chesapeake 17

[Rick Langer]

After the fine trip, led by Lee Riser, I had with other nyckayakers to 
Popolopen Gorge last week, I've decided to build a hard kayak.  One that 
I've been looking at is Chesapeake Light Craft's Chesapeake 17.

Basicaly, it's 17'x24"x13" and 45 lbs.  Does anyone have experience and/or 
an opinion of this boat?  Coming from a very stable Folbot, I'm interested 
in more speed, but I want a stable boat. I don't have interest in doing any 
eskimo rolling.

Thanks,

Rick Langer
