Based on the renowned St. Pierre dories that have worked
safely off the Grand Banks for over a hundred years, these
designs are rugged and seaworthy. For example, we’ve
received reports that one made the trip from Anchorage to
Seattle and return on its own bottom. Yet these are easy
boats to build and low in cost. Cockpit space and
load-carrying ability are superb.
Plans include options for either SAIL OR POWER versions (*).
In both cases, an outboard tiller/rudder is shown for low
cost, simplicity, and reliability, although an inboard rudder
with remote steering is adaptable. Because of wider bottoms
than is typical for similar boats, we can include SAIL
versions having the ability to carry generous sloop rigs.
JEAN PIERRE uses a NACA-section lead or steel fixed fin keel.
Easily-made wood spars are detailed for economy, but aluminum
types are optional.
POWER versions include options for a well-mounted outboard
with "kick-up" ability, inboard with in-line shaft,
or inboard with Nova Scotia dory-type "haul-up"
shaft option. Sail versions also include a thru-hull
saildrive. In all cases, a motor from 10 to 20 SHP will
suffice for easy powering with economy (speeds are limited in
these boats to 6-10 knots due to hull form and rocker).
Cabins feature full sitting headroom above the full-length
v-berth, with space for a head below. Construction features
easily-formed sheet plywood over straight-contoured frames of
ordinary lumber that require little fairing. Plans for either
design include FULL-SIZE PATTERNS, instructions, fastening
schedule, and material listing.
(*)NOTE: If in doubt about which version you want
to build, order the SAIL/POWER option which includes all the
plans, instructions, etc., for both so you can make up your
mind later without having to re-order a dedicated package
later.
