A Unique Dory Course: Build a 20’ Seine Dory

The Dory Shop offers dory building courses twice a year: once in the spring and again each autumn. This year something new is happening: a former dory course student had a strong hankering to learn how to build a Seine dory. The Seine is the largest dory we build here at The Dory Shop – she’s 20’ along the bottom and nearly 26’ overall. So guess what? We’re going to do it: a third dory building course this year, building a Seine dory.
