CHESAPEAKE DOUBLE & TRIPLE

The highly regarded Chesapeake hard chined hull shape is available in a double and triple kayak. They offer the same efficiency, great handling characteristics and ease of building as the singles. They are very stable, track superbly, resist weathercocking and, thanks to a 20 foot waterline, are very fast.

The maximum capacity is over 700 pounds but tracking is excellent even with children paddling.

Although many people use these for family day trips the Double and Triple are designed for rugged expedition use. The gunwale construction is strong and rigid. The cockpits are supported by laminated deck beams and structural bulkheads. The large hatches make loading easier and keep equipment safe and dry.

At about 65 pounds and 68 pounds (including hatches, watertight bulkheads and deck rigging) these boats are 30 percent lighter than most comparable fibreglass kayaks.

The Triple has three full size cockpits: the centre one is great for taking a child or pet along.

We no-longer make a kit for these boats. The building time from the plans is about 80 hours.
