Description
Looking for an enjoyable way to exercise, and a pleasurable few weekends working with your hands? If so, then the 14ft. EXE DORY will certainly meet your requirements. Very simple in construction, using the stitch and tape method to produce a strong and lightweight hull, she has been specifically designed as a single handed training/exercise craft. The 14ft. EXE DORY is light enough to be taken off and onto the roof of a car and, with itâs removable trolley, transported to the water, by one person. With a length of 14ft. and with her two additional seats, she is also ideal for 2/3 to go fishing in. Buoyancy is built-in at each end for safety. Construction is a delight with no arkward shaping or heavily twisted panels - or time consuming framework. Building time is approximately 45 hours.
The original Exe 14 plans have been redrawn and updated and as well as including the details for a simple sliding seat (see above), the plans now also include details for a fixed central rowing thwart - see below.
