Found: stretched version of the ONE? The sailing Gull.
"I widened the botttom and reduced the rake of the stern, filled out
the curve of the ends in plan view, and worked in a heavy steel
centreboard, all with a view to giving the tender and tippy dory
some powewr to carry sail. When I came to try the boat, knowing what
to expect of dories, I thought she was pretty good; she felt lively
and went where she looked, and she could be kept on her feet if you
paid close attention. The customers, however, as I should have
known, were all ignorant of sailing dories except as a myth. They
thought her tender and cramped, not as pretty as the rowing dory
(which was true enough), and above all they were shocked at being
asked to pay for the spars, sail, rudder,and centreboard."
(Introductory background to "Featherwind", Chap 15, Small Boats)
Well, if nought else, PCB has dispelled the myth over time; and we
know a sailboat needs those accoutrements. Just think: row, power,
sail, sea, surf. And rescue!!

Featherwind, then gobsmacking June Bug showed how a Gull might best
morph to protected water sailer, but ".. to windward in open water
is a wet and nasty business I take pains to avoid; I keep a light
dory for such work, and for when I feel like playing with surf.."
(Thomaston Galley, ibid)
OOOOOOh, I want one. Dory-itis is takin' hold.... again!
Cheers
