Chamberlain Dory Skiff
Description
The Chamberlain Dory Skiff is a classic, small wooden rowing and sailing dinghy, originally designed in the late 19th century by renowned dory builder William Chamberlain of Gloucester, Massachusetts. It gained modern popularity through the adaptations and plans published by naval architect and small craft historian John Gardner in his books The Dory Book (1975) and Building Classic Small Craft (1994).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
