Subject: [bolger] Sweet pea - Stretched Dory
Hi (happy tax payers)
I have just read Dynamite Payson's last book that includes two plans
that I would like to build.
First one is Sweet Pea : I want this boat for rowing only and was
wondering if she could be built stitch and glue ?
Second for rowing too is the Stretched Dory. But at 19'6'' she is a
bit big for me. Can she be reduced to around 17' (10%) without
changing her performances ?

Having built and rowed the streched dory, I found her
a very small 19'. She is a beautiful boat, will take
three but rows perfeclty with only one aboard, and is
an easy build. The original Gloucester Gull is
already, in effect, a scaled down version, but the
streched boat is faster to row and easy to
manage--don't let the length scare you, is my advice.

The problem with that one is that it is awkward for carrying a
passenger and that is why the longer one was designed.
Another excellent rowing boat is Gypsy which is tack and tape. It
could be built without the sailing accoutments if one only wanted to
row, or use a tiny motor. However it is not a double ender.
