I am looking for more informatino about the sail rigging on this chesapeake with a sailrig. It was displayed at MASCF this year. I would love to have more pictures or detailed info as I am looking to build about the same thing.

I don't know if it is the same setup but CLC has this kit available

It does look to be a CLC chesapeake (17 or 18) with a CLC sailrig, but the sail setup is much more aggresive than the CLC setup with carbon mast, carbon sails, boom, and jib for just a few of the changes.
Ryan,
That's Pam Clagget's boat. She won an award for the most tricked-out boat at Okoumefest a few years ago, before she added the sailing rig. This year she won an award for the boat with sailing rig at MASCF.
It definitely a Chessie, but it's been heavily modified. The sailing rig, if I remember our converstaion correctly, has the same amas as the CLC rig, but everything else is hers.
Maybe CLC or MASCF can put you in touch with her.

Stumbled upon this interview with her and her setup on youtube:
Ryan, Nice post! That rig is a good find. I am building one now and seem to be moving in the same direction for a tricked out rig! I just got my carbon fiber mast in the mail.......and it only cost me $90 on eBay. I am setting up my Jig for the Aka's now.
A few more pictures here........
