Nice Dory. Its great to actually see and hear a Chamberlain Alpha Dory under sail. I saw an original Swampscott racing dory sailing in Rye Harbor years ago and it was fast and nimble. I have been a dory and schooner fanboy since my father bought a model of the Gertrude L. Thibault when I was about 5 years old. I read John Gardener for years and even took his boat building course at Mystic Seaport in the mid 1970s. I read all of his articles in back issues of the National Fisherman at the Marblehead Library. I also visited the Lowell Boat Shop in Amesbury when Ralph Lowell was still there and later his shop at Strawberry Banke. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I never got to build a boat. However, I used to hunt waterfowl on the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, dig clams on the Parker River mud flats, and enjoy operating my 17' Boston Whaler Sakonnet.
Very cool, I think I remember seeing the Dory you are talking about in Rye, it was on rt1a along the beach, in the mid 90s upside-down in a yard, sweet hull, I never got a look inside and was pretty weathered when I remembered it. Schooner Races in Gloucester this weekend if you get the chance to get into town, parade of sail Sunday am, along the promenade and fisherman monument
