The dory is a small, shallow-draft boat, about 5 to 7 metres/16.4 to 23.0 feet long. It is usually a lightweight boat with high sides, a flat bottom and sharp bows. They are easy to build because of their simple lines. For centuries, dories have been used as traditional fishing boats, both in coastal waters and in the open sea. Variant spellings are doree and dori. The British Royal Navy spells it dorey (OED).
Strictly speaking, the only true defining characteristic of the dory is that it is planked up with wide boards, "It should be well understood, that it is the dory's special mode of construction, not its hull shape, that sets it, and its related sub-types apart from other boats" More generally speaking, the dory can be defined as a small boat which has:
The hullform is characterized by a bottom that is transversely flat and usually bowed fore-and-aft. (This curvature is known as 'rocker'.) The stern is frequently a raked surface (a narrow transom) that tapers sharply toward the bottom forming a nearly double-ended boat. The traditional bottom is made from planks laid fore and aft and not transverse, although some hulls have a second set of planks laid over the first in a pattern that is crosswise to the main hull for additional wear and strength.

Plot: Jean is getting married to Sheryl today. His best friend (and Sheryl's ex-boyfriend) is the best man and wedding planner. What nobody realizes (not even Lukas himself) is that Lukas is still in love with Sheryl. Add to that the fact that Sheryl's upper crust Jewish family and Jean's conservative christian Afrikaans family do not get along at all and things become quite complicated. When Lukas forgets to pay for the wedding band and they cancel his reservation, he is forced to hire a replacement band whose lead singer turns out to be Sheryl's arch nemesis, Bianca. The scene is set for a side splitting farce on the most stressful day of everyone's lives.
