Swampscott Dory
2503_85144_1.png
The aristocrats of their class, Swampscott Dories were the most highly refined variant of the dory ever made. Originally built for inshore fishing and lobstering along the coast of Massachusetts, their speed, ease of handling and seaworthiness soon made them popular as recreational boats. Developed when wide clear pine boards were cheap and plentiful, the Swampscott Dory has only four strakes (planks) to a side, saving labor and permitting rapid construction.
