Stories from the The Dory Shop


Greatest (dory) movie entrance ever

I can’t resist posting a link to what’s often been called the greatest movie entrance ever, and it takes place in a Lunenburg Dory Shop dory. I’m talking of course of Capt. Jack Sparrow’s entrance in the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Curse of the Black Pearl.

A customized Caribbean sailing dory

Many thanks to the crew of the sail training ship Picton Castle who sent us these pictures of their newly refurbished sailing dory, Sea Never Dry, sailing off Mayreau in the Caribbean. Built by The Dory Shop, this Fishmaker dory has been around the world at least twice, maybe three times, we’ve lost count. Recently the crew got all creative giving her a very customized paint job and sewing a fresh set of sails from cloth purchased during the ship’s call at Dakar, Senegal this past January.
