Dory's are all too uncommon in England, but the classic shape and tombstone transom were instantly recognisable; moored alongside a pontoon in the Lymington river.What I don't understand is why someone would let their boat fall into such a state of neglect? Sadly it does seem all to common in England, as is illustrated by the row of dinghies in the background, not one of which shows any sign of being cared for, let along display any pride of ownership.
Perhaps we should start a campaign to help Stop Neglected Dinghy Syndrome.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - and if they are like me it is entirely intentional.. I have scratches, patches, drips of old resin and all sorts all over mine for one single reason - it makes it less attractive and thus more likely not to be stolen...
