Chesapeake Light Craft | Mill Creek 13 w/ Sail Kit - Used

We took this boat in to try and sell for a good friend to the store. Our friend is the original owner of this kayak. It was built for him by a local craftsman from a Chesapeake Light Craft Design. The owner's occupation has him traveling often and for long periods of time. Unfortunately he really has never had the opportunity to paddle this boat. This is a Beautiful boat - pictures can't really capture it. It looks great on a wall but it also shines in the water. This boat comes with a sail kit which is not in the picture. To be honest we are kayakers not sailors and didn't want to embarrass ourselves by trying to put it together. All of the parts are included. 

This Boat is:

13' Long

36" Wide

40Lbs

Made with Okume Mahogany and reinforced with full fiberglass sheathing and epoxy

watertight bulkheads

includes rudder

includes Greenland paddle and sailing rig

this is the description of the Kayak from Chesepeake Light Craft: 

"Ever since Wooden Boat Magazine featured the Mill Creek 13 in a two-issue spread in 1997, thousands of Mill Creek models have been built. And why not? They look good, they're easy to build, and even though they are more stable than most kayaks, the Mill Creeks™ offer good speed and handling that you'll never get tired of.

The Mill Creek was designed as a wider, shorter, and more stable alternative to the typical sea kayak. It offers the stability sought by nature photographers, fly fishermen, and birders. The most versatile paddling designs in our lineup, the Mill Creeks are true high-performance boats. That is, if high performance is defined as comfort, good handling, rewarding speed, stability, and classic good looks. Originally drawn as stable and compact complements to our more traditional sea kayaks, the Mill Creeks™ have found fans among paddlers of all skill levels because they offer so much boat in such a light and easy-to-manage package.

Mahogany trim on cockpits and rails, cambered decks, and contoured slatted seats add grace notes, while the fiber glassed 6mm bottom panel will absorb years of groundings in shoal water.

The Mill Creek 13 echoes the feel of 1920's "double paddle" canoes. Combining the stability and comfortable seating of a canoe with the light weight and decked-in security of a kayak, the Mill Creek 13 is perfect for photography, fly fishing, birding, or just relaxed paddling. Like all the Mill Creeks, the 13 is surprisingly fast thanks to her efficient five-panel multichine hull and feather-light 40-lb weight. The cockpit is 54" long, so entry and egress are easy for everyone."
