Nicely spoken and informative

its prime difference from other day boats was they needed to be stacked as one schooner needed to accomodate 4-8 on a trip.

This informative video reminds me of the (UK) Fleet trows found on the Fleet behind Chesil beach in Dorset. These are small, generally carrying one pair of oars. They have flat bottoms, three strokes per side, clench construction, considerable shear and are usually double-ended (although some have narrow transom.) I always thought they resembled small bateaux. Their use was largely as inland (the Fleet is enclosed by the beach) tenders to the lerret fishing craft kept on the beach for sea fishing.

Dory-både er seje!

Nice pics! I would say that the tippy nature without a load is more due to the narrow beam under the waterline, not that it has a flat bottom. A wide flat bottom is the least tippy design.

Thanks for the good informative video 👏

A dory boat is like a sedan car or an ATM machine.

Nice voice.
