H.S. I responded to your query (I assume it was yours) on another forum recently by pointing you toward the Atkin online catalog & ordering information. Plans...
Does anyone know if Mr Atkin design a longer version of the River Belle? I purchased the plans but would really like a larger version, Maybe 44' to 48'. Maybe...
OK, I'm almost done hyperventilating now. Wait... OK, Now. So, I'm still curious. Are you planning on building Valgerda, or a model, or...? Cheers, David...
I really like the designs of some of the smaller keel cruisers, but I wouldn't want to build with traditional methods. I would like to know if Perigee can be...
I received a set of Atkin plans from Pat. The plans were very high quality and easy to read. Black lines on white paper. Other plans I have received from other...
Just a thought..... I have bought five sets of plans from Mrs. Atkin. They appear to be xerographic or "dry powder" copies common to modern lazer-print ...
Photos in album (page 2 of photos section). Performance: with 6 hp outboard, about 6 kts. 25 hp, kind of interesting - above 12 kts, bow dives and handling ...
Curtis, Congratulations on the launch, and I like the choice of name. Photo #3 shows a lot of water that you are dragging around in that cavity. How can you...
Curtis, I like your boat, and I think that it will be a success. You aren't really carrying the weight of that water in the well in the sense of it pushing...
Hello I am a new member. I am interested in designs for 18' sailing boats and would be interested in learning about the 'Happy Time' design. Has it been...
Stephen, A very nice little boat that seems to fit your needs. Will it be on a mooring or trailer sailed? The 880 pounds total ballast and deep sections would...
Lewis Thanks for your response. I would be able keep the boat on a swing mooring and carry out maintenance on the club slipway. I suppose I was looking at...
Stephen, I had hoped that some more experienced sailors would have replied by now, but no luck. I'm not a sailor (yet), just a power boater and some rowing....

Hello all, i'm currently looking at and looking for an Eric Jr. wooden. i've considered a steel double-ender or ferro but really i think i'd like a wooden Eric...
Justin, Well here's a few things that should get you pointed in the right direction. Eric jr is a great looking boat, but in no way is it a trailer boat....
I'm wondering if when Wm. Atkin wrote about those older small gas inboard engines like the Grays, Scripps, Universals, etc., should the HP ratings he quotes be...
Hi, I'm looking for my first boatbuilding project. I looked through the catalog and Jasper caught my eye. My questions- Would she be ok for a first time...

Having worked the SHP for various props that Atkin recommended for his boats and comparing those with the engines he mentions, my results indicate SHP -...
Thanks for the kind words, Wes. I sealed (95%) the openings, and cut a big (4") scupper in the transom, and found that the porpoising started at only 9 knots...
Justin- I have loved the aesthetics of Eric Jr. for over fifty years, but if my dreams are in the past, I am afraid that you sound years ahead of yourself....
Two Rescue Minors have been, or are being, built recently on the East Coast. Damian McLaughlin, Jr. built one on cape Cod for use on the west coast of Florida....
Jasper isn't an "instant boat," but if you're interested in boatbuilding, not just getting a boat, she'll make a fine first project. You'll learn about...
The ratings of older engines were a bit conservative, more like "contiuous" or maybe "medium duty" for the "high speed" engines, rather than the "peak"...
Eric, Jr. is not trailerable if built to the plans. Traditional carvel construction just doesn't hold up on a trailer. If you built Eric, Jr. strip planked...
