John Gardner's collection of plans for all kinds of dories. There are plans for traditional banks and swampscott dories, chaisson semi-dories, St. Pierre dories and others. The book also includes a section on dory design and evolution as well as a section on dory building techniques. A very good book for anyone contemplating building a dory.

This was Gardner's magnum opus, detailing the history and construction of this American boat type.
