I've paddles the Chatham 17 since 2 years now. I own an all black carbon fiber one. I've tried maybe 35 kayaks in the last 8 years, and this one is my number 1 boat. The other than I can recommend: Current design Caribou, the P&H Cetus MV, the Impex Force 4, the Impex Outer Island, the Current Design Solstice GTS, the seaward Quest X3 and accenté.

I've own 2 Chatham. The first one made in fiberglass, with some weak spots in the hull (not enought resin), but the carbon fiber Chatham is simply well build. I've tried a carbon fiber Chatham 16 to. I like it pretty much but slower.

I've used it in the Mingan Island with strong waves, and never felt it tippy. I've just forgot to drop the skeg and i've just never realize it.

Well he keep is line like no other, stable, not the better secondary but a decent one. Surf like a dream, handle waves pretty well, not the lighter carbon fiber one but just beautiful.

Just try it!!
