I'm familiar with the Gerr designs but think he failed to use the speed potential the Atkin boats had with low powered engines. With the flyweight diesel...
... Renn Tolman designed the Tolman Seabright Skiff and I'm building the first one after the prototype. It's a brand new boat so plans will be available ...
I think Dave Gerr got it right. Seabrights were never designed to go that fast. Atkin warned about trying to drive them faster than their design speeds, and...
Craig, Can you provide a link to the article? I couldn't find it, maybe because I was so distracted reading other links on that web site! Lewis ... Duckworks....

I've posted a couple pictures of an outboard lower unit stuck into the Rescue Minor hull - in photos (p.2). I have a 25hp I intend to fool around with - to...

William and John Atkin produced designs for several Tunnel-Stern Seabright Skiffs. I would like to know the chronology of design development. In other words:...
Don't forget Little Water. I could have sworn the chronology was worked out in a previous post. Can't find it now, though. Andrew ... Seabright ... ...
Kenneth, I'm not sure of the chronology of design development, but looking through some of Robb White's posts (search for oldbingey) he seemed to think that...
In vol 47 of Chapmans workable plans for practicle boats W. Atkin states that Jennie, a 35'8" overall length 34' wl length 8' breadth 1'4" draft, was his...
Phil Bolger has a number of box keel designs, as does Chespeake Marine Designs. I don't think any of them uses a reverse deadrise tunnel like Rescue Minor et ...
I grew up in South Jersey and there were (may still be) high-powered (aka 427 Hemi with open, straight exhausts) modified Sea Bright skiff races on the...
Also, check out the Mundoo series of boats (esp. M III) from Duck Flats, down in Australia. Cheers, David Graybeal Portland, OR "Luck is the residue of design"...
Thanks. I was getting 1300 using section area x length between stations. It was driving me nuts because it looked way too light until I realized I'd measured...

Nowadays we tend to think of William Atkin as a designer of sensible, even conservative, boats. Low-powered motorboats, stout cruising sailboats -- simple,...
Capt. Cicero is in Vol. 33 of the Ideal series. She is listed as design # 707. Tern is also in Vol. 33. Tern is quite similar in profile with the exception of...
I calculate a touch over 4000 #, just using the catalog pictures on the web site. It's hard to believe for an 18 ft boat, but for a boat with 1700 lb of...
