We just finished  building a  Matinicus Island peapod for a Matinicus Island fisherman.   It was constructed from the plans of David Dillion.  It will be used to haul lobster traps closer to shore in a simpler manner than the traditional larger boats as part of a zero carbon lobstering project.  It is a 15 foot lap strake pod with white oak framing and white cedar planking.  It is all cooper riveted,  bronze fastened,  and  mast for "running home."   Robert first sailed into Matinicus Island in 1973,  to see one of the Matinicus fisherman hauling lobster traps from a boat just like this one, so its nice for him to come full circle and  be able to build one to continue that honorable tradition.

You can find out more information on the zero carbon lobstering either on the main website or here on his latest blog.
