 History Of The Swampscott Dory
Swampscott Dories were historically designed to be commerical fishing boats to be launched off the beach.
In the 1890's the Swampscott dories attracted much attention because of their speed and a racing sailing dory appeared that was known as the "clipper dory." The boat was much like the working boat, usually about 21 feet long, but with a rather narrow bottom and very rounded sides.
The Swampscott dories were, like all of their class rather tender in strong winds, and eventually the racing dories were constructed with half-decks and cockpit coamings.
