> The Dovekie was cleverly designed by Phillip Bolger and well built
by Edey & Duff to be a practical solution to getting back to
basics. No more marina fees!! Utilizing leeboards and a bow
centreboard the Dovekie can be sailed in as little as 4 inches of
water. This opens up vast cruising areas where deeper draft sailboats
cannot go, enjoy sailing through reeds, observing the wildlife and
beach combing. High tech construction using airex foam core and a
fibreglass sandwich yields a light unsinkable and very strong hull and
deck....at only 600 lbs the Dovekie can be towed and launched from
behind the average family car. Only 5 to 10 minutes at the launch ramp
to raise the mast/sail and you can be underway, simplicity is the
secret, reefing and furling of the mainsail is a breeze. Referred to
as a camping-cruiser, you sleep on the flat cockpit floor using
sleeping bags and thermarest mattresses under the sunbrella covers.
Operating the Dovekie all is done from within the boat, even docking
and anchoring without needing to go on deck. Great with children along
as you keep them inside the large open style interior. Light enough to
row well and only needs a 2.0 hp outboard or electric trolling motor.
These unique craft have a cult-like following with owners having
sailed all over North America from coast to coast and from Lake
Superior down to Mexico including a few going to the Bahamas.
