How Fast can a Peapod Go? 

I was reading Capt. Pete's "On Wooden Boats" when I caught this video. You said all that needs saying to my mind when you said, "The boat then looks after you." Succinct , Mr. McMullen. Thank you for touching up my my day. Pete Culler wrote what I consider my other bible, and I could hear Capt Pete saying those very same words. Best of health to you Mr. McMullen from the hills of Virginia. Cork Camden

great upload peapod is a timeless

I've sailed that stretch in a 16 foot flat bottom skiff with a fractional marconi rig with a little stem head jib .... Beautiful place

That's a Matinicus Peapod built from plans and offsets from one of John Gardner's books. It has a lug yawl rig adapted from Oughtred's Penny Fee plans.

Good sailing, in company. Nothing like a broad reach on such a day. Hope you didn't have to tack all the way back again against the tide with light fading. Perhaps you weren't planning on getting back too soon?

I, too, would love some more information about the peapods in this video.

Nice boats. What is the design? I am looking to build Arch Davis's 12' Maine Peapod that has been recently featured in WoodenBoat Magazine, and was lucky enough to find your video. I love that you have this set up as a yawl. I would like to do the same, which is not in the plans, but I am sure that I could modify them for this feature.

They’re still out there trying to find the answer to the question!

So sad that James McMullen left out the vitals stats on these Peapods. There is a wide range of Peapods, you would hope they would tell us some basic info about the boats. I see so many of these types of videos with nameless designers, length, beam, characteristics under sail, mods if any and why, best sailing conditions, etc, that I assume they're more interested in making the video than boats, please consider rest of us boat lovers we’d love to know.

Просто кайф!)

Looks like to me that these boats can easily capsize and are hard to righten up after a capsize. Am I wrong? I would prefer a small keelboat or an unsinkable dingy for safety reasons. These small wooden sailing vessels looks to be lively to handle.

you really need to change the title on this clip chap, talk about false advertising. nicely built boat by the way.

It seems verry low in the water

But how fast can a Peapod go ?

Yep, but you don’t answer your question? Did you get 5 or 6 SOG?

You race that in the "Scramble" last summer?

That free board looks dangerously low in those conditions.

isn't this a ketch instead of a yawl ? as the aftmast is before the rudderpost, and not astern of it?

My dear James Bond . Nice video.. but still Not a word about the speed?? But the heading is misleading ?

Привет! Давай больше видео!

How fast ???????????

You are a tease skipper, how fast can it go?

Almost too much fun to be legal!

ASOCIACION Itxas Egurra Haizean me gusta este video IÑAKI.

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.

Meh New England cat boats are faster.
