-A '''dory''' is a small, shallow-[[draft (hull)|draft]] [[boat]] of approximately 5 to 7&nbsp;[[metre|m]] (15 to 22&nbsp;[[Foot (unit of length)|ft]]) in length.  Variant spellings are '''doree''' and '''dorey''' (OED) and ''dori''.The [[British Navy]] spells it 'dorey'. Lightweight and versatile, these boats are used in the open sea for commercial [[fishing]] applications, as well as in [[whitewater rafting]] on interior [[river]]s. [[McKenzie River dory]] versions usually seat from two or three to four people including the [[oarsman]].

-The hullform is characterized by flat sides angled approx. 30 [[degree (angle)|degree]]s from the vertical, and a bottom that is transversely flat and markedly bowed fore-and-aft.  (This curvature is known as 'rocker'.)  The [[stern]] is frequently a raked surface (a narrow [[transom]]) that tapers sharply toward the bottom forming a nearly double-ended boat.

-Nested stacks of dories were frequently carried on the decks of fishing [[schooner]]s out to the fishing grounds, where they were then deployed to lay [[longline]]s or tend nets.
+==10. How would you calculate the weight that can be safely carried under normal con ditions in any given boat under oars? ==
-Until the first half of 20th century the dories were used by the Portuguese to fish for cod in the North Atlantic.  Single tripulated boats were launched from the mother ship and would often go several miles away, with no communications, in order to catch the fish with long lines.  The fishermen had to know basics of navigation and rely only on themselves.

+==12. Know how to properly fit out a rowboat, and maintain and care for it during the boating season. Know how to prepare and store the rowboat when not in use. ==
-More glamorously, dories were once used to travel dangerous [[whitewater]] rivers, where their superior maneuverability made them preferable over other watercraft available at the time.  They have since been supplanted in this purpose by inflatable [[raft]]s which require less skill and are generally more durable for collisions with rocks.  However, fishing guides on many western [[United States|U.S.]] rivers still use drift dories because of their maneuverability and ability to be rowed upstream.  Additionally, their high rocker and extremely shallow draft give them low resistance to the flow of water, effectively holding the boat in place for the prolonged fishing of holes in the river.  Typically [[salmon]], [[trout]], and [[rainbow trout|steelhead]] are fished for this way.
-==Modern use of the name==
-The term "dory" is also used for a different and otherwise unrelated type of modern boat. This is a rectangular [[plastic]] or [[fibreglass]] [[dinghy]] with a [[cathedral hull]], used as a working boat, tender, or fishing platform. The rectangular shape provides maximum space for a given length and beam. Its cathedral hull makes it extremely stable while still being easily-driven and hence reasonably fast with a small outboard motor.
