couldn't be happier

Posted by Greg Clemens on Apr 27, 2005

It's been about 4 or 5 years now since I finished my Chessie 17 and I'll tell you, I couldn't be happier with the boat. As I was working on refinishing it this evening, I thought back to days when I was building her and how that magic moment came when the hull went from being a connection of flat pieces of okume to take the beautifully, curved shape that it was meant to have. That boat has taken me many miles in all kinds of conditions and you couldn't ask for a more seaworthy craft. So, here's to John and the CLC staff who guided me then, and still are there for help, for designing the product that really does become an extension of yourself when you are out there paddling ... and to all the fellow boat builders out there. There's nothing like going out on the water in something that you built. All the best. Happy and safe paddling. Greg
