John,
There has been a bit of talk on the Necky Chatham over in paddling.net
Use this link http://www.paddling.net/message/show...tml?fid=advice
and search on 'Chatham' set the time frame to the last three months.
There is a lot of comparisons with the WS Tempest line. Both boats will be
on my to-try list for 2004.
Safe Paddling,
Joe Galloway

Has anyone paddle one of the new models from the Necky Chatham line?
Apparently they've got it in 16', 17', and 18' lengths and a poly version
as
well. A paddling shop that I respect a lot claims that the boats have the
best outfitting they've ever seen.
