We build Dories. Day in, day out, one after the other. We have been building dories for more than 90 years now and, except for a few power tools, we build them the same way we’ve always built them, with the same wood, the same fastenings, the same oars, the same paint, the same everything! We like it that way. It works and it will continue to work as long as the sea is salty, and the ocean has waves.
