Pacific Power Dories Landing on the Beach

I just caught this great video of Pacific Power Dories landing on the beach in Oregon. You can see how handy these specialized craft really are. The ability to launch and retrieve through the surf makes these great boats so useful anywhere in the world, not just in their native Pacific Northwest. If you need a sturdy, sea capable boat that'll handle beaching and launching through the surf these just can't be beat.

I have designs from 14 feet to 32 feet to cover everyting from sliding into a mountain pond for trout fishing to hauling crab pots offshore in Alaska. They handle the roughest seas only draft a few inches, and as a bonus, are easy to build. Here's my lineup:
