Description
This design is a symmetrical Peapod - in other words the front and back of the hull are exactly the same which is how most Peapods were designed and built.
The length is the maximum that can be obtained by butting 2 sheets of standard 8' plywood together and her beam has been set for comfortable exercise rowing without the need for outriggers.
She can be fitted out with a simple ply or solid wood fixed centre thwart or she can be fitted with a sliding seat (details of a basic sliding seat are given on the drawings).
