Oregon Field Guide  Dory Builder

One of the last commercial dory builders keeps up a century old tradition. Details

 

Program: Oregon Field Guide

Episode: Dory Builder

Pacific City, Oregon owes its identity, and its fishing industry, to dory boats. The flat-bottomed, no-keel boats take off from dry sand directly into the surf. When they return, fishermen throttle up full blast to slide back in using the beach as their brakes. A group of students from Linfield College are making a major effort to preserve the unique history.
