This widely acclaimed classic holds a timeless appeal for all those who dream of owning a boat within their means but large enough for coastal cruising. Bailey, living in New England, found a builder for the hull of his 28-foot dory, and, with the help of good friends, constructed the Billy Ruffian. He then salvaged, scrounged, and occasionally — it was a great thrill — bought whatever was needed for fitting out the boat. Soon he and his family were sailing a simple, spacious, and eye-catching craft completed within his one thousand dollar budget.
