Dyer Dhow Fleet

Launched in 1950, the Mariner Training Program at Mystic Seaport began with just six Dyer Dhows donated from local yacht clubs. Now through the continued generosity of clubs and individuals, Mystic Seaport is home port to the largest active fleet of 9-foot Dyer Dhows in the world! Used as part of Community Sailing and the Joseph Conrad Summer Sailing Camp programs, thousands have learned to sail and continue to race these Dyers regularly.
