| I didn't think that the Sport Tandem was that much smaller than the CLC Tandem. Hammerstroke used a CLC Tandem for '09 EC and it was a great boat. |

CLC makes both the Chesapeake Double/Triple and the Sport Tandem. The Sport Tandem is not related to the Double/Triple. It is actually a stretched version of the NorthBay; which is my primary kayak. Where the Chesapeake Double and Triple measure 21' x 30", the Sport Tandem measures 21'8" x 22". It is a kayak better suited for shorter races than what the WaterTribe typically hosts. I think I read a little about Hammerstroke's or some others experience with the CLC Double/Triple. It has proven itself to be a contender in WaterTribe races. The Pygmy Double/Triple has also proven to be a good choice.
PrarieDog and I are paddling a CLC Shearwater Double in the NCC this September. It measures 18'6" x 27". What I like about it is the waterline length is 98% of its overall length, it has a modest beam and a multichine hull. The result is an efficient cruising boat for its length, with a low wetted surface area, and we have yet to capsize it unlike the Sport Tandem, but that's another story... We have also determined it will hold enough gear for a 100 mile race but are unsure of its viability for an Everglades Challenge. I'm still working on my wife for that one. Perhaps I should change my WaterTribe name to: "IfShe'dLetMe"? |
