Plans to build the 12' Avila Garvey Dory
This is the smallest Garvey Dory requested at just 12 feet. This is intended for rougher water in the coastal and bay areas around the central coast of California for exploring the many bays and semi protected waterways along the coast. It is fine for a small family and can handle four adults with ease. A more practical or useful car-toppable small craft simply cannot be found.

About Garveys
Garveys have been used all over the world, where a small, highly maneuverable shallow water boat is needed that is very stable and can carry a heavy load. Nowhere are they more popular than in the bayous and bays of the Gulf Coast of the United States, where week choked inlets, wide open, shallow bays, and narrow tree lined meandering rivers abound. These boats will carry an enormous load for their size, while operating very economically, with minimal power requirements. You can pole, paddle, row, or of course power them with standard or mud-type outboards. There are few better choices for a rugged workboat in mostly shallow water than a Garvey style dory.
