Plans to build the 15' Glousterman Ultralight Dory
The Glousterman was designed as a very light, car toppable rowing craft that would pull well and be safe to row in rougher water. The traditional dory hull shape is derived from the sturdy Grand Banks fishing dorys. The Glousterman is built from two sheets of 1/4 inch thick marine or exterior plywood by the "stitch and glue" construction method. This method requires no forms or jigs. It is ideal for the beginner or experienced boat builder. No special tools or equipment are required. Builders claim this is the fastest boat they've ever rowed.
