Chatham 17 (composite)

The flowing lines of the Chatham series are inspired by classic Greenland designs. The 17 is built to minimize windage, have great maneuverability and superb rough water performance. The hull has a very full chine, which provides great stability for a boat of this beam and quick response to edging and lean turns. Volume in the bow is carried well forward ensuring good resurfacing characteristics when riding wind waves or punching surf. A drop skeg, three bulkheads and waterproof VCP hatches complete the package.

This boat truly excels at coastal exploration through surf zones, rock gardens and convoluted "tide rips". Composite construction is considerably lighter and much stiffer than the poly model. Layup Options: Advanced Composite (AC) Fiberglass or Advanced Composite (AC) Carbon.
