Necky Chatham 17 Kayak with Skeg

Sleek lines accentuate this responsive touring kayak's high-performance nature allowing easy edging and quick rolling via the low deck profile.

• High-density polyethylene construction offers performance, rugged durability and affordability; molded in graphics won't scratch or fade
• Hull is shaped with a full chine, providing ample stability for a kayak of this width; responsive shape performs well when leaning turns and edging
• Cockpit is relaxed and roomy, offering great comfort while still providing positive fit for aggressive edging and rolls
• Drop skeg enhances tracking and resistance to weathercocking with Necky Wire kink-free deployment controls beside cockpit
• Fully bulkheaded bow, stern and day hatches with rubber hatch covers provide generous dry cargo storage for extended voyages
• Bungee deck rigging secures extra gear for easy access; compass mounting surface just ahead of bow hatch
• Carry toggles at bow and stern allow easy portaging to and from the water; perimeter lines and paddle float strap for safety and easier re-entry
• Ratchet-adjustable, padded backband with forward-mounted seat adjustments; soft foam seat and adjustable thigh braces deliver a custom fit
• Less pronounced rocker than the Chatham 16, but with stronger tracking and greater speed for reliable stability in severe conditions

Made in USA.
