Finally! With the 3rd round of concept drawings, I’m happy with the latest design concept! This time, I’ve developed a lines drawing for a 28’ LOD sailing dory. It features a 10’ beam and 4’ draft. This vessel shall be fast and easy to build, plus inexpensive (relatively speaking of course).
Please Note: I’ve recently launched a Patreon page and this is where you will find more in-depth information and details if you’re interested in this project. Otherwise, I’ll continue to share progress here on my YouTube channel on a weekly basis for the general public not wishing to become a Patron.

This latest concept of a large sailing dory was heavily influenced by the late John Gardner and the St. Pierre Dory, plus Jay Benford’s portfolio of large sailing dory designs. Annie Hall’s book “Voyaging on a Small Income” is quite convincing and influential as she describes her experience with the Jay Benford designed, 34’ sailing dory, “Badger.”
The final construction drawings (once I’m happy with the initial lines drawings) will be made available at a later date.
Many thanks to all my subscribers for participating, commenting, liking, and sharing my videos. I very much appreciate your continued support of my YouTube channel. It’s a lot of fun for me, and I hope this trend continues.
