9’ Dyer Dhow sailing dinghy (hull #974) with mast, boom, sail, rudder and daggerboard.Perhaps the most famous of the Dyer dinghy line, the 9-foot Dyer Dhow is also the most versatile. The proven “hard chine” or flat bottom Dhow design lets you carry four people and more gear with greater stability than comparable round bottom dinghies. Unlike inflatables, you can tow and row the Dhow with ease. And of course, the sailing model is the perfect junior trainer. New rubber gunwales were partially installed.

This unique 3 section metal boat was built in 1925 by W.H. Norton of Mexico, NY. This boat was originally owned by a neighbor of the builder, Henry Davis, who had a camp at Cranberry Lake. The camp and boat were sold to the Cook family in 1928. Before the use of trailers and station wagons the boat was drawn on a simple sled made from 2x4s. While in the Cook family this boat was used for fishing on the Oswegatchie River, Racquette River, Cranberry Lake, Clear Pond, Black Lake, Grass River and many others.

This is a reproduction of a bateau, an early French-Canadian boat used on the river. Made of pine and oak, it is flat-bottomed, slab-sided, and extremely heavy. It has straight frames with wide board planking on the sides. The bottom is planked side-to-side rather than end-to -end, with reinforcing braces running lengthwise. The straight stems are made of four separate pieces which together make up the ‘arrowhead’ shape. The boat was painted green and manila, rather than oiled and blackened as the historic craft were. Originally the boats were propelled with poles and teams of oarsmen, this one has no thole pins or cradles for oars. It is in very good shape.
