General Description

1999, Joel White / Landing School Peapod, 14’

Asking Price: $3,900 / Location: Laurel Hollow (Long Island),NY 11771

The Peapod might be one of the most easily identifiable, traditional small craft found on the coast of Maine today. Peapods were used as near-shore lobstering boats; a lobsterman could stand on the gunwale and haul a trap by hand without the boat swamping. The shallow draft of these vessels allowed fishermen to work the various shallow nooks and crannies that dot the Maine coast. They were also quite seaworthy in deeper water and were favored by lighthouse keepers to get to and from offshore lighthouses

Joel White’s 14′ Maine Coast Peapod is a classic take on this timeless design, perfectly suited for both sailing and rowing. His design is intended for recreational boaters, not working fishermen, and has a deeper draft than a traditional workboat for better tracking during sailing. They are sleeker for better speed under oars,

As a bonus, this boat can be rigged to sail in about two minutes with the standard lug rig, which while not traditional for peapods, provides plenty of low-cost power. It is easy to make and sail; and the spars stow completely within the boat when not in use. The mast is unstayed-no standing rigging to kink, tangle, or snap.

If you are looking for a classic tender for a larger vessel or just want a nice little boat to row, tow or sail this Joel White designed and Landing School built Peapod would be just the ticket.
