TheGloucester dory is a variant of theBanks dory, a type of narrow-bottomed, slab-sided boat, common in the North Eastern United States. It is characteristically smaller and lighter, with less overhang, both bow and stern, and lessfreeboard.[1] It retains the Banks dory's slab sides.Gloucester dories were designed to be launched through the surf behind abreakwater for dailyfishing andlobstering off theMassachusetts shore.
Because of its simple lines, a Gloucester dory is relatively easy to build. With the straight sides and flat bottom,stitch and glue techniques work well with this boat.[2]
