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.

Fred Brunhouse's nice cold-molded 11' dinghy ready to go sailing.

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.
