February 28, 2004 Cameron Taylor, Robert
Pitaway and Ian Doren completed their work on the sail
arrangement for Jane, the first Avery Point
Dory built by John Gardner TSCA members. |

A view of Jane from the front. This is the
prototype of the Avery Dories the John Gardner TSCA
Chapter is planning to build.
The day these photos were taken, several of the JGTSCA
members came to the Chapter building to build two
of what will become a fleet of several Avery Point
Dories.

 The
characters (left to right) are Cameron Taylor, graphic
artist, Rob Pittaway boat designer, and Lea Doran, sail
maker.
Rob designed the sprit rig and sail, Lea made the sail,
and Cameron added several graphic designs for the transom,
sail, and oars. I believe Rob and Cameron designed and
built the lovely oars.

Launch of the Avery Point dory Jane with
Cameron as skipper, Rob and Dane (who just happened
to stop by the club this day) giving a little push.

First sail, heading toward JGTSCA chapter boat house
(white building ahead on the shore). |
|
Cameron heading east toward the shore in a pretty strong
wind.
|
After sailing to the east, Cameron would row west.
The boat rows very nicely. Since we don't have a rudder
or a centerboard on the Jane, Cameron basically
sailed downwind and rowed up wind. |
 |
Cameron heading back to the beach at a pretty good
clip. |
A happy Cameron about to run up on the beach. He
was quite excited with the sail and wanted to go out
again, but the rest of us were getting cold so we wheeled
Jane back to the club house. Successful day! |
