A fun thing I've found to do with my dory is to stand up behind the bow thwart&nbsp; and paddle using a stand up paddle, it's great for maneuvering in tight&nbsp; spots and great for sight fishing&nbsp;

Totally agree. I use use a long, cheap kayak paddle and find it works well. One of the best things about the NE Dory is the ability to stand and be stable. I even like to stand for brief periods of time while I sail -- almost like being on a sailboard again.

&nbsp; &nbsp;That's great, I've found the same result. It's fun to stand up paddle around the harbor. Great boat.&nbsp;
