5th time Raider. This time I will do it alone and finally has my boat the way I want it . Still prefer to camp on shore but ready for sleeping on the boat at anchor. Looking forward to seeing new and old Raiders. Not a fast racer and more a dinghy cruiser but enjoy the racing with other Lug sailors
The Boat
TOKOL -O -SEA : meaning playing on the sea. Chesapeake Light craft South Wester. Balanced lug sail Dory. Home build from kit and very beautiful
The Southwester Dory from Chesapeake Light Craft is a versatile, lightweight cruising dinghy designed for both rowing and sailing. Inspired by traditional New England dories, it features a stable, flared hull that rows efficiently and handles chop with confidence. Built using modern stitch-and-glue plywood construction, it’s available as a kit or plans and can be customized with sailing rigs and simple cruising gear—making it a capable little boat for coastal exploring, camp-cruising, or harbor days under oar and sail.
