I was deeply in love with the Swampscott Dory, but, as I was moving frequently back then, and knew that my woodworking skills would have to come a long way during the process, I built a twelve foot Phil Bolger designed dory, the Teal, instead. Still have her, and am in the late stages of her first major refit, all these years later. Life is good.

Have a list containing what tools and materials you need and have. You might also want to keep your directions around to mark up with a marker as you work through them. This provides you with a visual motivation to keep your engine going during the most patience trying time of building your own boat. It also will help you adjust your schedule to deal with any delays. <br />thanks all!! @Markboat hull psychosnailhttp://www.psychosnail.com/boatingarticles/boathullnoreply@blogger.com
