It also works well for <A HREF="http://www.galvestonwatersedge.com/dories.html" REL="nofollow">American / Canadian dories</A>. While length / width proportions differ, both types of boats have flared sides at similar angles and what many of think of as a tombstone shaped transom. <BR/>This produces a boat that has very good stability, especially only when heavily loaded ... and they can carry a heavy load.<BR/><BR/>One of the differences I see is in construction. Here, we scarf (join) multiple boards into one piece before affixing them to the boat. Maestro Marcuzzi scarfs the boards on the boat.<BR/><BR/>Here, we might have sandwiches and coffee in the shop. There, I bet he eats where there's no sawdust in the food.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the pictures.Bob Eastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373918779580450890noreply@blogger.com
