VenezuelaFULL DESCRIPTION
-Interior recently painted in the fall (3 coats total) with Epifanes Two-Part Polyurethane. Dory hasn’t been used since the painting. Between coats, the floor and decks decks were sprinkled with AwlGrip GripTex polymeric non-skid additive. Wanted to have a safer platform for standing and casting from the fore and aft decks without worrying about slipping when wet. Having extra grip when getting in and out of the boat is also a big plus. Makes a safer platform for the wife and kids. Came out excellent and couldn’t be happier with the results. Gray color was chosen to hide dirt, be less reflective and hold more heat in the fall and winter months (best time to be out on the water).
-Wood is teak (an upgrade) compared to the mahogany used by Crawford . She was sanded bare and left unfinished. I don’t like the varnished look but if you do she’s ready. I prefer Semco as it doesn’t flake, easier to upkeep and looks natural.
-The centerboard is aluminum which is another upgrade over the plywood version from the shop which would break down over time, especially from impact.
-Trailer is in great shape, bearings recently greased. Would love to keep the trailer if you don’t need it (I’ll take off from sale price). Has oars and a newer but old stock sail still in bag just purchased from Roger.
Has two rowing positions and the deck is flat and can be used to camp on which is another plus. The previous version had a humpback centerboard which prevented a flat deck platform for sleeping.The Swampscott Dory, recognized as the aristocrat of the dory family is considered to be the most eye appealing of all the different dory types. In contrast to its cousins, the narrower straight sided dories, the Swampscott’s rounder sides and soft lines make more graceful in appearance, a very smart sailor and pleasant to row. This is a fun boat to sail, and the honesty of its workboat heritage ensures that it will be able, weatherly and safe.
If you are a lover of traditional boats and have an eye for beautiful lines it would be hard not to be impressed with the Crawford Swampscott Dory. The lovely flowing sheerline, soft round curves and salty profile easily distinguish it from today’s sterile production boats. This is a boat that receives endless compliments from other boaters.
Every detail of her construction from the structural fiberglass work to the minute details of finish work is done honestly and thoughtfully. The hull is built of a solid laminate of layers of fiberglass mat, heavy woven or stitched roving and cloth. The bottom is foam cored for extra thickness and strength. ALL the fiberglass work is done by the true hand layup method. These are very solid, strong boats. Positive foam flotation in the bow and stern chambers guarantee the boat to be unsinkable. Gorgeous teak woodwork is generously used to trim out the gunnels, interior seats, rudder and tiller and other structural parts, and this premium hardwood will last indefinitely. The hardware is bronze and brass, fastenings are stainless and bronze.
Rowing for exercise and pleasure has made a big comeback in recent years, and of course dories are known as fine rowing boats in either rough open waters or quiet back waters. When you first row the Swampscott Dory you will immediately sense how efficient and easy to handle she is. She carries well and tracks nicely. The broad beam and wide thwarts allows two oarspersons to sit side by side, or, one aft and one forward. It can be rowed by only one, or up to four persons. It’s fun to row in this fashion, and a great way to teach children to handle a rowing boat.
A unique motor well is built into the inside of the boat in the stern area. It allows the outboard motor to tilt up for beaching and will work with the rudder in place. Because the true displacement hull is so efficient it takes only a small 3 horsepower engine to push the boat close to hull speed, and it will accept a larger engine up to 6 HP if one of modest size is used.
Many boats suffer from either being too specialized or compromised by trying to get too much into too little. The Crawford Swampscott Dory with its unique, simple and practical setup is certainly one of the most versatile boats available at any price. It SAILS, MOTORS AND ROWS! It is safe and seaworthy, easy to trailer, launch and rig, and uncomplicated to use. The interior layout is spacious and sensible. It would require a long list to count up all the possible uses, both for pleasure or working that this beautiful Swampscott Dory will allow. You can trust her in open water or take her gunkholing in the bays and marshes. Imagine the wide range of boating skills that can be learned (or taught to children) in this safe and versatile boat. While this may be the ideal first boat for a family, many seasoned and accomplished boaters have purchased a Crawford Swampscott Dory and enthusiastically applaud its performance.
Thanks for your interest in the Dory, appreciate your consideration of the Crawford 16’ Swampscott Dory.
