Chatham 17 (poly)

The Chatham 17 features a fine bow entry and a sleek stern to offer exceptional glide and efficiency. The rocker is less pronounced than the Chatham 16, resulting in stronger tracking and greater hull speed. The Chatham 17 sits comfortably on edge just like its longer and shorter siblings and responds quickly to a deliberate paddle stroke. The adjustable outfitting is relaxed and roomy, offering great comfort while still providing positive fit for agressive edging and rolls.

Three VCP hatches (two oval and one round day hatch) are standard on the low profile deck. A retractable skeg operated by Necky's own kink free "Necky Wire" completes the package giving the Chatham 17 bomb-proof tracking in even the most severe conditions.
