http://dansdories.googlepages.com Dan Noyes and Joel Peck built an Alpha Dory. Here she is sailing on the Ipswich Bay and in the Parker River. This Alpha Dory is newly built, and for sale at about $5800.
not only the same boat, but the same day we shot the Photos used by Wooden Boat. wind speed was 8-10 mph and the dory was moving well. I had her out for a sail on theis same water this fall in 20+mph breeze, a wild ride, you could feel the hull surging as wind gusts hit 7-8mph boat speed, very fast for a displacement hull of this size and type/design date pre 1900!
Looks like the same Alpha Dory from Woodenboat Mag, Small Boats 2010. Gardner was right. She does sail like a spirited Colt. Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.
Good eye
