A '''dory''' is a small, shallow-[[draft (hull)|draft]] [[boat]] of approximately 5 to 7&nbsp;[[metre|m]] (15 to 22&nbsp;[[Foot (unit of length)|ft]]) in length.  Variant spellings are '''doree''' and '''dorey''' (OED) and ''dori''.The [[British Navy]] spells it 'dorey'. Lightweight and versatile, these boats are used in the open sea for commercial [[fishing]] applications, as well as in [[whitewater rafting]] on interior [[river]]s. [[McKenzie River dory]] versions usually seat from two or three to four people including the [[oarsman]].

The hullform is characterized by flat sides angled approx. 30 [[degree (angle)|degree]]s from the vertical, and a bottom that is transversely flat and markedly bowed fore-and-aft. (This curvature is known as 'rocker'.)  The [[stern]] is frequently a raked surface (a narrow [[transom]]) that tapers sharply toward the bottom forming a nearly double-ended boat.

Until the first half of 20th century the dories were used by the Portuguese to fish for cod in the North Atlantic.

More glamorously, dories were once used to travel dangerous [[whitewater]] rivers, where their superior maneuverability made them preferable over other watercraft available at the time. They have since been supplanted in this purpose by inflatable [[raft]]s which require less skill and are generally more durable for collisions with rocks.  However, fishing guides on many western [[United States|U.S.]] rivers still use drift dories because of their maneuverability and ability to be rowed upstream.  Additionally, their high rocker and extremely shallow draft give them low resistance to the flow of water, effectively holding the boat in place for the prolonged fishing of holes in the river.  Typically [[salmon]], [[trout]], and [[rainbow trout|steelhead]] are fished for this way.

==Modern use of the name==

The term "dory" is also used for a different and otherwise unrelated type of modern boat. This is a rectangular [[plastic]] or [[fibreglass]] [[dinghy]] with a [[cathedral hull]], used as a working boat, tender, or fishing platform. The rectangular shape provides maximum space for a given length and beam. Its cathedral hull makes it extremely stable while still being easily-driven and hence reasonably fast with a small outboard motor.
