CHESSY - BY Ernest Tucker. This strongly built 15-ft. Chesapeake skiff may be easily rowed or driven by an outboard motor. Chessy is strongly built so she'll take a beating when you drag her up on sandy beaches or push her into marsh grass with its inevitable hidden snags and roots. She has plenty of flare, which will keep her dry When the going gets rough and she is steady enough on her keel to enable the crabber to stand in her how and reach for a fast moving crustacean without having the feel ing of walking a tightrope.
