This craft truly belongs in the “exotic” class. Designed to make canoeing easier for children to learn (having a narrow gunwale width), it can be outfitted as a solo or tandem. The flared hull provides good stability with excellent speed and glide.


Chesapeake Light Craft is the world’s largest boat kit manufacturer, offering over 30 pre- cut sea kayak, canoe, rowboat and sailboat kits. Visit our website or call 410-267-0137 to order a free full color catalog.


The style of the Langley is reminiscent of the historical canoes used for fur trade and exploration. The performance of the Langley, however, is right out of the future.


A historical reproduction of the 1915 Chestnut Little/Peach.


Traditional design based on the Peterborough Cruiser Iroquois model. All wood construc- tion, no fibreglass. Cedar strips are copper-tacked to the ribs and sealed with marine spar varnish.


Our easy handling fur trade-style canoes offer great looks, safety, strength, stability, and low maintenance.


Very stable, extremely seaworthy, foam-core construction.


$2,599 US The MN 3 is a wilderness tripper designed for three paddlers. Even heavily loaded, it is faster than tandems. Available only in our Kevlar Ultra-light layup, it’s easy to portage yet very durable. Equipped with a sliding bow seat and two fixed stern seats.
