For those of you in the northern hemisphere, summer is all too quickly coming to a close. It's chilly at night now, and one or two trees are just starting to give us a wee taste of the gorgeous splash of colour waiting just around the next corner. Oh no: Rowing season is nearly over!

The harbour was busy this past weekend in Lunenburg as spectators gathered to watch the US and Canadian dory teams race for gold. With music playing, flags flying and crowds cheering it was quite the atmosphere to be a part of and I really can’t wait until we get to do it again!

Come to Lunenburg's historic waterfront this weekend and cheer on the US & Canadian competitors.

Join us September 22 to October 3 to build a traditional wooden Banks dory in our historic waterfront shop

While we generally build-to-order, we do have a few rowing dories, a Nutshell pram and one of our popular Cross Island skiffs in stock and ready-to-go!

Join us on the Lunenburg waterfront June 14 to cheer on teams seeking to compete for Canada at the International Dory Races in Gloucester, MA

We're celebrating Lunenburg's 261st birthday on June 7th with an Open House and barbecue in support of the Canadian Dory Racing Association

Our spring dory building class wrapped up a successful two-week session with the launch of their newly-constructed boat, the Banks dory ERIKA

The Dory Shop’s been asked to help find a buyer for a sweet 17-foot Swampscott dory, built last year at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.

There’s still one space available in our next dory building course, taking place May 12-23, 2014, at our historic shop here on the edge of the Old Town Lunenburg UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nova Scotia, Canada.
