Quick Summary

The dory skiff is a type of small boat that resembles a dory but is shorter, has lower sides, and a square stern. Dories themselves are characterized by pointed ends, high flaring sides, and a narrow, V-shaped stern. They are seaworthy and can be rowed, powered by an engine, or sailed, and are commonly used by New England fishermen. Both the United States and Canada produce dories, which are flat-bottomed skiffs popular in the fisheries of New England and the Maritime Provinces.12
