Company Info
For more than 90 years, The Dory Shop of Lunenburg has been building traditional Banks dories and other fine wooden craft for fishermen and recreational boaters alike. And though they’ve added a few power tools, they’re proud to say their boats are still built using traditional methods and materials.
Of course, that doesn’t mean things never change there.
These days, in addition to dories for rowing and sailing, skiffs and runabouts, they’re also building two-48-foot wooden, oceangoing, Tancook schooners. These ‘twins’ are being built simultaneously, frame for frame, plank for plank, in the time-tested way; based on a designer’s half-model and using double-sawn frames. View the construction process at www.twinschooners.blogspot.com.
The Dory Shop also offers boat building classes, and is happy to assist you with any aspect of wooden boat repair.
