The day has arrived for TotalBoat Sport Dory – It’s finally completed – and the smile on Lou’s face says it all! Louis has finished the build and he’s shown us some great boatbuilding and woodworking tips along the way, as he’s been known to do. From the beginning, this dory was meant to challenge conventional boat building by using plastic frames on the hull. Lou’s used this technique before and today, seeing the completed boat ready to launch, you can believe those frames will continue to do their job for many years to come, just as Lou planned. Enjoy!
