Chesapeake Light Craft Northeaster Dory

Build your own rowing and sailing dory! The Northeaster Dory is a stitch-and-glue design of traditional looks and layout. Chesapeake Light Craft’s exclusive LapStitch construction technique makes a traditional lapstrake dory accessible to anyone with 100 hours or so and a garage. You can row it as a single, as a tandem, as a sliding seat single, or sail it with a sloop rig. See photos and details at
