11' Dinghy
|
Design Number 149
1977 |
When we started the design for the 11' Oregon Peapod, we had thought to design a
transom stern boat, as a bigger version of the 8' Portland Yawlboat. They were
both commissioned by the same builder, who wanted to have a line of dinghies to sell. However, as I got
further into doing the designs, it occurred to me that we could design a double ender. I did some preliminaries
of this and sent them to the clients. They liked the idea, and we went ahead with the double ender instead of
the transom stern design.

I saved the drawings for the transom stern version. Some time later, we finished them up for another client who
built her as a dinghy for the 50-footer of our design he was building. He reports she's a delightful boat.
All the construction and rigging detailing from the Oregon Peapod would be used for building this version.
