The dory plans are interesting but now quite what I am looking for. What I need is plans for a 13-14 ft modified dory that  nests so I can use it as a cruising workhorse powered by oars or Torqeedo o/b on our Durbeck 46. This dory seems to be quite heavy and suited for use on its own.

I like the dory design because it consists of flat panels so can be built of aluminum or cored carbon and kevlar. The panels can be cut out then assembled with welding or stitch and glue. So far I have not found suitable plans.

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Take a look at http://www.devlinboat.com/ I don't see a nesting dinghy, however he has a number of designs.

I did a search on "nesting dinghy" and found over 94,000sites.  Here are two:
