Clarence River Dory

Designed by John Welsford

The civilian version of the boat drawn for East Timorese fishing villages: long, narrow and efficient, built either at 20 ft 10 in or 16 ft 6 in from the same plans. About 140 kg, carries up to 1200 kg, and reaches 20 knots on a 25 hp outboard while drawing very little.

What building a Clarence River Dory actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
