    • @lowellsboatshop
      @lowellsboatshop หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lowell's used to crank out MANY dories, almost in an assembly-line style. The way to describe the hardware there is to talk about two other options for the frames that are more work/time/cost: naturally-grown shapes or steam-bent ones. The plates hold the joint where two straight pieces meet. This might be a good topic for a short video, thanks for the great question! -Anne

    Please define the term dory? I have a 50 ft Colvin schooner with just enough space on the forward trunk cabin behind the fore mast for a max 12 ft tender. I would love a rowing, sailing tender with an outboard transom, in the dory design.

    • @lowellsboatshop
      @lowellsboatshop หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there! Dories are flat-bottomed skiffs with flared sides, and a few other attributes, and they were carried by schooners, stacked on deck, and deployed from the “mother ship” for fishing. Do send an email to Graham to learn more about the boat in the video, or perhaps about another boat that might work for your needs: graham@lowellsboatshop.org -Anne

  • @Pocketfarmer1

    Seams like the stern on the new one is a lot narrower and maybe even raked aft a bit , certainly pushes the peapod idea, but must loose comfort in the aft seat. Nice boats.

  • @TheSalMaris
    @TheSalMaris หลายเดือนก่อน

    It may be camera angle, but your "replica" doesn't seem to exactly follow the same lines as the original. You look to have already begun to tweak the design. This is an intriguing little dory. Will lines be available to the general public of the original boat? 17" planks can still be found in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for sharing this find.

      What you can't really see in the video is the dry sprinkler system installed a few years ago. The system is designed to put out fires anywhere in the building. Pipes run all over with sprinkler heads spaced according to building codes. Most of the shop isn't heated, so the pipes are charged with nitrogen ( hence dry, wont freeze) until a head is activated. Then a valve at the street fills the system with water. The fire extinguishers you see supplement that.
