Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop Whirlygigs
Geno sells these for $55. A bargain for something hand crafted, painted, and local. It’s even painted the official colors of the Lunenberg/Gloucester Dorys. There was one left last week so hurry down and get it! Look for the last part of the Geno Mondello interviews coming tonight.

Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop-The Knees Of The Dory
Inside the dory the knees are placed as a frame. It is interesting to note as Geno told me in the first part of our video interview that the knees are made from the tree trunk. The tree trunk has a natural bend when it enters the earth which lends strength to where the curve is going to be on the inside of the boat.

Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop
I stopped by Geno’s Dory Shop at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center yesterday. Geno is currently working on a 17 foot hand line dory which will be auctioned off to benefit the Gloucester International Dory Race Organization. The money raised through the raffle will be used to build more dorys. Last year there were four dories and by the end of this year there will be eight. The sport is just taking off thanks to the likes of Jimmy Tarantino, Glen Harrington, Katherine Richmond, Skip Levielle, and Kirk Dombrowski along with many other volunteers..
Look for my three part video series with Geno starting tomorrow which talks about the origins of dory racing, different types of dorys and how they are built and other surprises.
