Our Boat
Paperwing is a 34 foot Benford dory designed to be as easy to maintain and repair as possible. She is a junk-rigged schooner built using the cold-molded construction method. Created primarily for sailing offshore, she was built over more than 20 years by an incredibly talented couple. We still consult with them often.
