Lapstrake dory


Last fall my wife and I were in Sweden. Sweden's capital Stockholm is very beautiful and set on a dozen or so islands. There are hundred's of boats of all types docked around those islands and within easy strolling distance of down town.
We saw these boats being built.
It wood is nasty looking softwood and the fit kind of rough. I was told that the wood swells and the bottoms and cracks are filled with tar and paint and the boat is put to work.
