Chesapeake 17" from wreck to launch
Helle
I got hands on an old unfinished Chesapeake 17" that had been left in a garden for a number of years summer as well as our very wet danish winter. Without knowing anything about wooden kayak and stich-and-glue I started wondering what to do...
During this summer I have been working on the kayak to see if it was possible to save it and get in on water.
Also I have spend some time studying pics and video on the web.
Yesterday it was launched and sailed very well. It sure was a very exiciting moment!!
All the best from
Thomas - Denmark

That's a very fine looking salvage job, Thomas. Nobody would know it had spent so much time in neglect. We hope you enjoy using the boat for many years.
