Description
The Chesapeake class is a Ray Hunt Design pilot boat built in numerous examples, with listed vessels ranging from 52.11'x15.10' to 53.6'x17.10' and top speeds from 24 to 29 knots. Operators include Maryland and Virginia pilots. Gladding-Hearn has built pilot boats since its early decades and joined forces with C.
