Percy Vos Dory
Waitematawoodys follower Sam Leijen, has asked for some help, In 1964 Vos built an 18ft dory at a cost of 300 pound, that was used in the Waitomo Caves for many years, it was retired in 1990 and now sits at the Waitomo Museum under the lean of the roof. Photos above, including the plans.
Sam is keen to get a better understanding of the plans so that one day he can build a replica. He is looking for a better understanding of some of the plan details & asks for any comments to clarify the meanings in the plans.
Hopefully a ww follower can help Sam. I can email the plans if anyone wants a better ‘view’.

HI Guys, Yes, there are a set of drawings for these in the P Voss drawing collection. The drawings are very basic as most dory lines and plans are. They may be just what is shown here. I was wondering if any of these survived.
