Dory Guys & Gals:

Thanks to all who could make it down Saturday to help move the new race dories!  Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Don’t forget that this Friday, May 13th at 6 PM we will be holding the dory dedication in preparation for their launch on Saturday morning.  Please make every effort to attend (flyer attached) and let us know if you can volunteer some time on Saturday morning to help drop them in right at the Heritage Center and row them over to the town landing (if you’re not rowing in the Essex River Race that is).

See you Friday!

A Gloucester Tradition Since 1952

The Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee cordially invites you to attend the dedication of 4 new racing dories generously funded privately by the community to continue the tradition of dory rowing and racing dating back to the schooner/dory fishing of the early 1900’s that helped define the fishing heritage of our unique city.

Dory Help And A Chance To Bid On A Dory

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Dory Committee and boat builder Geno Mondello could use your help this Saturday, May 7th at 1 PM to help move the stored race dories in preparation for our dedication next Friday May 13th at 6 PM both at the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center on Harbor Loop downtown Gloucester.  This move shouldn’t take long if we get some volunteers, so please make an effort to get there on Saturday!

We would also like to remind all of you to make every effort to attend our dedication and congratulate our sponsors, our organization and Geno for all of their dedication and hard work with this boatbuilding project.  It has been many years since a nest of 4 dories has been built in Gloucester .  We hope to have a strong membership showing to offer our appreciation.  The event will consist of a short introduction and the unveiling of the dories followed by some light snacks and conversation with all attendees.

Lastly, we continue to take offers on our last floating old practice boat.  The initial and only offer at this point is $500.00.  Please respond if you would be interested in putting in an offer!

 contact one of our board members below with an offer:
