Design and development
The Seamaster was built by Alfred and Thomas Trefethen and Harvey Mace, using components from the PAR Special pusher monoplane. It is a single place, mid-wing seaplane with a Y tail layout and a single 90 lb (41 kg) fuselage-mounted float. The pusher propeller configuration of the PAR Special was modified to that of a conventional tractor layout.[1][2][3]
