The kit for this lovely 17-foot dory is currently in final tuning at CLC. The kit will soon be available for purchase (don't hold your breath, it won't happen before May), with four strakes per side, assembled according to the patented Lapstitch technique (stitch and glue with rabbeted planks) which makes the construction process uniquely easy. The hull, very open for a dory, recalls very much the Skerry's, which is a very good omen regarding its dynamic qualities.
The new dory will be equipped with three rowing stations, for single rowing (middle), double (extremities) and to allow rowing with one or several passengers (or a lawn mower, or even a concrete mixer) while maintaining the optimal trim. A "sailing" kit will optionally change the dory into an able sailer in order to expand considerably its cruising range. |
