Description
19’6’’x 5’8’’x 11’’ (min.). May be built in two halves and bolted together as a fishing/motor dory or as a sailing dory with or without the cubby/cabin. Pre-shaped side hull panels are fastened to the frames upside down, stringers added to the outside (acting as rubbing strakes as well) and then the bottom panel is added. She has an optional salt water ballast tank. The standard rig is a simple double unstayed sprit boom rig with all fittings kept to a minimum. The plans also show a conventional single sprit rig with jib and centreboard arrangement.
