Swampscott Dory Model Kit

Swampscott dories were the most highly refined variant of the dory type ever built, making them the aristocrat of dories. Originally built for inshore fishing and lobstering along the coast of Massachusetts, their speed, ease of handling, and low cost soon made them popular as recreational sailboats. Developed when clear pine boards were cheap and plentiful, the Swampscott dory had only four strakes (planks) to a side, saving labor and permitting rapid construction. This model shares these characteristics—it is simple, quick to build, and makes a lovely display model. This is a good kit for the inexperienced builder. It is important to note that some pictured items may have been built with optional items not included as part of standard kits, such as pedestals, bases, cases, paint, etc.

If there are any questions about the contents of a particular kit, please contact Bluejacket. Donated by Bluejacket Ship Crafters.
