There is a review of CLC's CHESAPEAKE 17. The review is not online, but you can order the back issue to read it (Issue 70 Page 13). I remember the review, it wasn't too bad, but they didn't like the installation of the fittings. All of the Pygmy's do seem to get great reviews from them though. CLC, Pygmy, and Squeedunk have all had kayaks in gear reviews, plus Redfish has had a paddle reviewed. Also, some reviews are missing on the review page, they have reviewed Pygmy's Arctic Tern, and Arctic Tern 14, but they aren't listed there.

: Maybe those nice full page color adds warrent reviews.

: Maybe wood kayaks are still considered a fringe part of our sport.

: Whatever the reason, their editor has hopefully opened pandoras box with his
