I would like to add the note that there are several more elaborate
boats in the book, but I tried to look at the 2-4 plank hulls,
remembering he is a first time builder... The 13 foot Chamberlin is my
personal favorite but might be a little small for his needs, and a
little daunting to the first timer. But now that I look at it the
Chamberlin Gunning dory and Beachcomber Alpha are only 4 plank too
done in plywood. Sorry to have been in so much of a hurry, gotta' go.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I love the dory book.

I've
looked at some the designs again with glued-seam batten construction
again it really opens some doors.

The only thing that was putting me off with the dory was the more
traditional construction...but seem batten outgha work ok for me.
Personally they only dories I have considered is the hammond, dion, and
swampscott type.

thanks
matthew
