Jay Benford dory-

I wonder if that means that it is slow or that it isn't as fast as a catamaran or..what? The Benford design is advertised with a book about a couple who built one and sailed to Antarctica. Annie Hill I think. Have not read this. Joshua Slocum built and sailed LIBERDADE from S. America to the east coast. The boat was modeled from his "recollections of Cape Ann Dories". For simplicity of building, a dory seems a great advantage. Never sailed one though. SteveJ William R.

Any thoughts? depends on what you mean by "dory". a simple banks dory shape isn't good for sailing. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
