Milford Buchanan and the Shelburne Dory

by Text and photographs by Brad Dimock

Milford Buchanan and I had already bent the pre-made bottom of the dory into the building jig—or horse, as he called the ancient cradle on the boatshop floor at the Dory Shop Museum in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. We had wedged the flat bottom tightly in place using posts and jacks that had been used to spring more than 50,000 bottoms to the standard 31⁄2" rocker.

The Remarkable Career of Steve White

Going Big in Small Boats

by Peter Van Allen

For the small-craft designer Clint Chase, talking about boat excursions in Maine often leads to accounts of treks to coves and inlets of Casco Bay off Portland, Merrymeeting Bay near Bath, or any number of other islands and shores tucked away along the state’s coastline. He is an inveterate explorer, and his idea of sailing usually involves camping and some element of adventure—a wind that tests a boat’s limits, shifting tides, threatening weather. Experiences along the coast have given him a keen appreciation for the elements that go into boats of the type he has always preferred to use: light, trailerable craft that are safe and responsive under sail or oars.
