Building the Gloucester Rocker rocking boat

I just finished a small rocking dory called The Original Gloucester Rocker (plans here) for my daughter for Christmas. It's been a big hit and couldn't many photos online when I started so I thought I would post these for anyone else interested.

This may not be a 'real' boat build, but I kept it as authentic as possible in the construction details. Here are some of the details I added:

• Lapstrake instead of a single side plank
• Solid planking instead of plywood
• Proper beveled dory laps

Here's the stock photo from the plans:



and my finished version under the tree:
