Dragonfly
This is the Bolger Glouchester Light Dory. Quick and easy to build,
Jim built this one largely from the plans, except for the obvious
modification for two rowers. He later further modified the interior so
that the aft seat could move to accomodate one or two rowers.



River Otter
Known as the Fireflyby those familiar with plans for "pulling boats"
available from Wooden Boat Magazine. Jim built this with okume
plywood, fir plywood, Douglas fir, and Red Oak. He uses a Piantedosi Row Wing,
which fits perfectly with no modifications to either the boat or the row wing.
Note the moderate carrying capacity.



Arctic Seal
Built by Jim from plans in John Gardner's Dory Book; this is the "Nahant Dory",
and very similar to the Swampscott Dory. Seventeen feet in length and four feet wide,
this boat rows well. Constructed from okume Plywood, fir plywood, and Honduras Mahogany.
