CLC does say that the Chesapeake is a better design...but that depends on what you are looking for. CLC DOES NOT, however, say that the Chesapeake handles better. I quote from CLC website:

"Though most builders now select the newer Chesapeake models, some prefer the lower profile, better maneuverability, and lower weight of the Cape Charles."

So, again, it depends on what you are looking for.
