If Dan is too busy building his boat to write up the checklist, and you're itching to build, just ask any and all your questions here. :)

I built a Chesapeake 17 last spring and it was a lot of fun. Since it floats, I feel I am qualified to answer your questions! *grin*

There were parts that were stressful (but not too many) and parts that were confusing, but I got past them and it's a fun boat to paddle.

By the way, I wrote a journal (with pictures)-- the link is below
