The Lighthouse Tender Peapod is 13'5" long, 52" wide, and will handle a 650-pound payload. Both single-masted and yawl rigs are available. Advanced features such as inwales, floorboards, and a pivoting centerboard are standard in the base kit ($2700).

We have translated the Maine peapod's subtlety of shape and character into a design that can be built easily from plywood using stitch-and-glue techniques, without a complicated mold or complex joinery. Designer John C. Harris was inspired by the "Old Sailing Peapod" from Washington County, Maine, detailed in American Small Sailing Craft, Howard Chapelle's indispensable reference work of traditional designs. The boat in American Small Sailing Craft was built "about 1886" and its hull shape recorded by Chapelle in 1937.
