Zip around jagged rocks and cut through stiff headwinds in Necky's Chatham 17 Composite Kayak. A low deck profile and sleek hull minimize wind resistance and respond to your lean turns. Necky made the Chatham 17 Kayak with a durable fiberglass and carbon composite, so you get a stiff, strong craft that stands up to impacts. Store your weekend gear in the bow and stern hatches, and keep your snacks accessible in the day hatch. Drop down the skeg for straight, smooth tracking when the winds pick up. Necky's molded foam seat encourages blood flow to your legs, and adjustable thigh braces keep your legs comfortable. This way, you won't stand up and promptly fall over at the end of your paddling day. Adjust the foot braces to the perfect position for your leg length, and get out on the water.

Bottom Line: Venture out into the deep blue in Necky's strong, stiff Composite Chatham Touring Kayak.

This boat is great for beginner and intermediate paddlers. It is wide enough for most people to feel stable in and has a good size cockpit for beginners. It has good tracking and lots of speed, which makes long days easy on the body.
