Glouster dory
The Glouster dory is a variant of the Banks dory. It is characteristically smaller and lighter, with less overhang, both bow and stern, and less freeboard . It retains the Banks dory's slab sides. Glouster dories were designed to be launched through the surf behind a breakwater for daily fishing and lobstering off the Massachuchetts shore.
Because of its simple lines, a Glouster dory is relatively easy to build. With the straight sides and flat bottom, stitch and glue techniques work well with this boat.
