Doris the Dory

Doris - a comfortable dory

Here is a great project for the first- or second-time boatbuilder who likes small dories, slender boats that typically row and carry loads well, and are renowned for their seaworthiness.

Doris is a 16ft plywood dory, but don't imagine that it is yet another re-working of the famous - and notoriously tippy - Light Dories you may have read about.
