The Swiff Dory Recreational Rowing Craft

Construction

The hulls are made of vinyl ester resin (stronger and lighter than polyester) reinforced with glass fibre and finished on the inside with polyurethane paint.

The seats form fibreglass air tanks for strength, buoyancy and stiffness. There is plentiful use of varnished cedar for gun-whales, front and rear back rests and gussets. There is also an adjustable cedar foot-stretcher to brace your feet against when rowing.

The dory is provided with a sturdy snag free rudder which does not interfere with beaching. The rudder is operated by lanyards from the passenger seat. The overall impression is of elegance, swiftness, and comfort. It is sufficiently light that two people can easily carry it or lift it onto the roof of a car for transport.
