Chesapeake Bay Draketail Workboat Model, Wooden Construction. Draketails have a distinctive rounded stern with a “reverse rake” transom. This design is partially based on torpedo boats and racing boats of the early 1900’s. Draketails (also called Dovetails) originated on Hoopers Island, MD. They were among the first workboats to be outfitted with a gasoline engine. Draketails have a narrow beam, resulting in higher speeds than other workboats.
