Cuddy for an Open Top Dory
Anyone know where I can find a free plan for a cuddy to put on my open
top 16ft fishing dory. Boat is quite rectangular really with a cathedral hull. Very stable and ideal for sea Fishing. With the boat being open to the weather I really do need to fit a shelter. The persistent rain and wind are now making my joints ache. I'd like to put a cuddy on the boat big enough to sit in, close the door and have some form of heating, and maybe have a small stove and a chemical loo!! Perils of old age creeping up on me!! |

Cuddy for an Open Top Dory
The first post I see in this thread has a in front of it so maybe
I've missed something. But a Dory, by definition, isn't rectangular nor does it have a cathedral hull. It has a narrow flat bottom with a high bow and flared sides. Secondary stability is good but can feel a bit tippy at first. Amen on the "ideal for sea fishing" though. Is that what you've got? Anyhow, I'll second the suggestion for a canvas dodger. Methinks a solid structure would be a bit much for a 16' Dory (I have one too). A canvas shop that specializes in boat tops and biminis can fix you right up.
