More Dory Race Eliminations Coverage Coming Monday When The Showdown Between The New Jersey Crew of Mick Cote and John Swift Face Off vsJoe Sanfilippo and Mark Duval For The Right To Represent The US vs The Canadians. Also To Be Featured Monday Night At Niles Beach Will Be The Over 40 Race Between Mike Harmoon and John Scola vs Ray D’Amico and Lenny Billante.
The Breakdown From Jimmy T
Monday night at 6PM Niles Beach will determine the final crews to face the Canadians.
What is always fun to watch and a great way to spend a morning this Saturday The International Dory Races will hold elimination races starting at 8:30AM at Niles Beach. Don’t worry if you don’t show up right at 8:30 there will be a decent amount of the morning to catch the exciting action from the beach. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- here is the recipe for a fantastic morning.
Grab the kids- stop by Last Stop Variety- grab a coffee and chocolate chip/blueberry muffin and head down to Niles for the races. It’s a true Gloucester tradition and a fun way to spend time with the family. You can join in the fun for only $50 a year and use the dories which are tied up at St Peter’s Marina in Harbor Cove.

Click here for pictures of what you can expect to see including Jimmy T proclaiming himself the Worlds Greatest Grand Banks Dory Rower
From Jimmy T-
Dory rowers wanted. The more the merrier. Compete in the elimination races to determine who will represent the U.S. vs. Canada in the International Dory Races on June 19th, 2010.
If you don’t have a dorymate come anyway and possibly hook-up with another rower for the races. You could end up winning…stranger things have happened. We particularly need women rowers but are looking for rowers for all Divisions.
Friday night, June 4th, 6 p.m. at St. Peter’s Square.
Just got this from Jimmy T-
My apologies to everyone for not keeping the open communications I usually do. Work is crazy and may get worse. I’m sure your all aware of the Gulf Spill, this has already affected my office and could call for many more Seafood Inspectors any day.
Please refer to our website for upcoming events, sign ups for June eliminations are this Friday night!
As previously stated, I may get called away for work in the Gulf area any day so volunteers who can help with the International Races please contact Erik, Gina or any of the other Board of Governors.
Mr Harmon, can you meet me to tow the boats over to Niles Saturday?
Kelly can you give us a rough idea of Canadians coming down for the races? Gino wants to see if anyone can bring him down some Dory Knees.
See you all Friday night!
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
We are only a week and a half away from the first elimination races! June 5th rowers will be putting it all on the line to see who will eventually represent the U.S. in the International Dory Races on the 19th. We encourage any and all rowers to participate, be part of the racers and experience the camaraderie of all the competitors!
Volunteers needed!
We need people to help carry one of the new boats at the Dory Shop on Harbor Loop. This Saturday at 1 p.m. you will be paid in victuals and libations immediately following the move! (Gino is cranking on the dory building and we may be racing in the new boats this fall!!!)
We also need help during the eliminations and will be needing rowers to teach kids to row in early June.
See the website for details of all the events.

Putting In The Dories Saturday Morning-
Sounds like there is rain in the forecast for Saturday morning when we put the boats in. Please don’t let that dissuade you from helping for an hour or two. We are meeting at the dory storage tent, behind Eastern Ave Self Storage, 7 a.m. Saturday morning.
Some should bring rowing gear to row a boat from E. Gloucester to the Town Landing, anyone who has a trailer would be great, otherwise just bring your smiles and muscles!
There are still boats available for anyone who wants to row the Essex River Race, May 15th.
One more week to top the $2000.00 bid for the handline dory, then it will be sold.
Thank you.
I know your all dying to hear that again!
Well, this Saturday, May 1st, is time again to scrape and paint the dories before we put ’em in. Anyone who can spare the morning, or just an hour or two, we need all the help we can get to make light work of it. Last year we had a bunch of folks turn out and we got out of there by noon! For those of you who didn’t know, we’ve relocated the dory storage tent to down behind the storage units, at Eastern Ave Storage. As a result we need generators for power, so anyone who can bring one it would be a big help. Also any scrapers or power sanders, bring ’em along.
The Essex River Race is May 15th. Preregistration on-line guarantees entry and a t-shirt, but you must register by April 30th. Any members interested in using one of our boats let me know, First Come, First Serve!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
I am hoping to have the boats ready to be put in the water by May 8th, so they have a week to swell up before the ERR, but we’ll need help then too. Anyone who has a trailer we can use, please let me know.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
June 10th and 11th the Maritime Heritage Center would like our help again, teaching Rockport grade schoolers how to row. Anyone interested in this valuable experience please let me know.
Pick a day you can give an hour or two and make a commitment to help. The International Dory Race Committee is only as good as we’re all willing to make it. Please help out and make a difference. The recent small success we’ve enjoyed is because of all of you who have pitched in and contributed. Thank you. You know who you are. And you know who you aren’t!
Love,
Jimmy T.
P.S.
As most of you know, thanks to your support, I may be going away on a long vacation soon! Please help the Board of Governors keep things running smoothly in my absence (they do all the REAL work anyway!).
We’ve got to put the full weight of our community behind one of Gloucester’s favorite Sons- Jimmy T! He needs our support to get on Survivor. Please copy the url of this post and send it to your friends and family members to also vote for our boy Jimmy T.

Jimmy is not only a great guy but he is one of the DOERS around town. You know, the 2% of people that make 80% of the cool stuff happen. He volunteers a ridiculous amount of time along with help from others to make the International Dory Races what they are today and continuing the great tradition. He truly deserves to be on the show for a whole slew of reasons.
