Preserving the legacy of Pacific City's dory boats

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. Story produced in 2013.

I'm 3rd generation dory fisherman. Well...woman. The first time I was taken out on the Dory I was only about a month old. Now a friend of the family runs ours but I am still out on the boat. It's an experience like none other though. My Dad's boat was the Triton S. I'm glad we're back out on the water.

These boats have great beach landing capabilities. Perfect for flat sandy beaches. I think that the designs here are similar to the Spira built Offshore Anacapa Pacific Power Dory. Or a modified version to them. Regardless of the origin, these are great boats and best suited for this area. Great all-round video. It's captivating, this is my 5 time watching.

Good way to keep the barnacles from colonizing the bottoms of your boats.

I saw one these boats at Cannon Beach about 15 years ago. Totally impressed and dumbfounded they could launch a boat right off the beach into the surf. Now I know the rest of the story.

I'm from NE North Carolina. I swear the dorys and the old English brogue are very similar to our Outer Banks, settled by ship wrecked folks since 1700. Wonder if some migrated to Oregon?

A lot of island countries or with coast land dock their boat in this way.

Great stuff! I knew about dory boat fishing from a motherboat in the northeast and out of Gloucester, but not on the other coast. You can tell, that frame is going to wind up being a quality craft.

Wherever did the Marine Doug fir plywood come from ? As a boat builder myself finding Doug fir plywood now is impossible to fine and I even called Roseburg plywood then they said all the marine plywood is sent to the east coast.

I thought a dory was more of a rowboat, whaleboat or survival boat. Is there a difference in the names or spellings.

Decades ago they USED to have a few GREAT fish restaurants in this area, the last time I was there, about 2 decades ago, I could not find even one which served locally caught fish! SHAME!

That's unsustainable. Ban all co2 emission machinery/plastic/poly-fiber fabric unless used for reforestation, habitat restoration, and life threatening emergencies ~
