The flowing lines of the Chatham series are inspired by classic
British designs. The 16 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 through wind waves or punching surf. A drop skeg, three
bulkheads and water resistant VCP hatches complete the package.
This boat truly excels at coastal exploration through surf zones,
rock gardens and convoluted rip tides. Polymer construction yields
amazing durability and resiliency.
