Building the St. Pierre Dory by Mark White
"Every other rock seems to have a dory freak under it"- Mark White
No doubt about it: Dories are definitely IN- they combine all the rugged
practicalities of a workboat yet are relatively easy to build, and they
are eminently seaworthy.Mark White's 28-foot modified St.Pierre dory is
an able design born in the French Territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon,
a region of extreme conditions off the southern coast of Newfoundland
that is not unlike the stormy shoreline in Alaska.
White describes in meticulous detail his process of building these
serviceable open powerboats.He is not dogmatic- he offers options at
every step. He built two successive St. Pierres before writing this
book, and lessons learned on "hull number 1" have been applied
perceptively to "hull number 2". White's use of strip-planking
contributes to the uniqueness of the volume- the first text which
thorough instructions and illustrations for this planking technique.
Detailed plans and drawings are included, and the many step-by-step
photographs make the book so complete that a beginner boatbuilder could
find the St. Pierre dory to be the ideal initial project.
