My 11 year old (110 lb.) paddles a Chesapeake 16. I can also take it out, although I'm a bit large for it. Both boats are comfortable and well mannered. I put a skeg on the 16 but she hardly ever uses it. Chris Beckman >> Thanks, Chris! I thought I might have missed something specifically designed for children. I built myself a 16' CLC Yare some years ago, but that's still a bit hefty for my 50# 6-year-old ... will have to break down and build him that very short folder this winter!! Ralph C.
