Note that these plans appear

$59 plus shipping ($8)

The
Classic Rogue River dory, built
to the lines of Bob Pritchett's boat, the last boat he built before his
death in 1989. In this boat is his 40+ years of cumulative experience with
this dory. This boat has excellent carrying capacity and it will hold the
current like none other. The hipped transom accommodates a small motor, and
the excessive flare enhances the boat's stability in heavy white water.
$56, plus shipping ($8)
With proof of book purchase, $44.80, plus shipping ($8)
The Rogue
River Driver, the early workhorse of the Rogue. A heavily timbered
dory, the plans for this boat have been modified to accommodate today's
materials. Lines and construction detail for this boat, with appropriate
permissions, were taken from the Zane Grey boat at Winkle Bar on the Rogue.
The river driver is one of 7 boats Zane Grey had built in the mnid-1920s for
travel to, and use around, his cabin in the remote canyon. There are plans,
though pending, to restore this boat. The Colorado River dory
$64, plus shipping ($8)
With proof of book purchase, $51.20, plus shipping ($8)
The Briggs
Dory, the boat commissioned by Martin Litton specifically for the
heavy white water of the Colorado. Named for Rogue River guide and builder,
Jerry Briggs of Grants Pass, Oregon, most, about half of the dories that ply
the Colorado today are Briggs boats. They are treasured, maintained and
meticulously cared for. Several boatmen have adapted the Briggs dory to a
double-ender. I have received several requests for such plans and I should
have a set available by March 2010. See our discount package See our Model kits See our McKenzies
