: Hey Pete, I have a 57-lb. Chesapeake 17

: Shawn

My CLC 18 is close to mid 50s I would say. The eye bolts for carry toggles and the carbon fiber seat don't save much weight either.

Hope to keep the SOs at 40ish lbs using less epoxy, plus a 3 mm deck with 6 oz glass on the hull, 4 oz on the deck, and 6 oz tape on the seams. We shall see if I can be meticulous about epoxy pooling up in the keel...
