Little Orphan
This 12′-10″ Peapod, edge-glued lapstrakes and no frames, is a nimble, 95-lb. rowing skiff—light enough to easily bring aboard our 58′ William Garden, yet stable enough to carry two with ease.
Found in a central California storage garage, a mystery with no known builder or designer. All I could find was, “Built by someone in Santa Barbara” Almost flawless—her craftsmanship so pristine it was as if she had just left a very skilled shop. The only boat I’ve ever bought sight unseen, and when the door rolled up, I was stunned.
I inquired with Doug Hylan, who saw hints of his Beach Pea, though she carries more strakes. No papers, no history—but she has a new home, and ready for adventure.

Thanks so much Jonathan! Yes we love our little Pea-pod. The name came with it…like everything else. I checked your bio, I love your 21′ sailboat. We sailed for 40 years. The 58′ is our first pleasure motor boat. We also have a 16′ Hobie Power Skiff we tow behind our Sprinter camper. I will post a pic. Lets us know make it to the PNW again.

Now that’s a barn find if ever there was one and the absolute perfect name to boot. Congratulations. No need to play the lottery. You won.
