I'm writing to see if any of you have comments on Atkin-designed dinks and tenders. We live on a beautiful Eric (gaff ketch rig), but are sorely in need of a...
thanks for the site John. Can someone enlighten me as to why ALL the Atkin plans are not available? I have vague recollections of many boats I would like to...
There are several reasons why not all of the 900-plus Atkin plans are available today: Almost all the plans in the current catalog come from the series of...
Precious isn't going to be able to carry as much weight as one of the butt- headed dinghies of similar length, but she is better looking. Yes, that's important...
Hello Atkin Group I think we should just all be greatfull for the plans that we do have here, they are fantastic, my favorite is Bamaling , this would be a...
Sometime in the mid 70's, there was an Atkin cutter advertised in the boats for sale section of WoodenBoat Magazine. I remember that a photo was included in...
Even though there was only one Atkin boat there, some of you may enjoy seeing some of the photos I took at the recent Depoe Bay Wooden Boat Festival on the...
When Mrs. Atkin thinks it's no longer fun to handle the boat plans she's going to donate them to Mystic Seaport, as per John's instructions in his will. Let's...

As a first step towards adding some interesting extra content to the Atkin Web pages, here's an article by Dan Pence, of RiversWest RiversWest Small Craft...
Greetings all, As I get started on the RockingChair project (drawing up, getting planning permission for, and then building the building Building ;-) it occurs...
George Buehler let loose with some thoughts about Billy Atkin in an article about a little schooner in the latest Boatbuilder magazine. I thought you might...
I realized that this site is not for transmission modificaiton but 99.99% of all boats do have transmissions. Recently I was made aware that an old 2-speed...
The places to look for info on modifying an old Powerglide are probably the groups for racing boats. To use one in a boat you'd want to install a thrust ...
Yes indeed, This would be an ideal sort of engine for a couple of boats that I dream about building someday. Thanks for bringing these engines to our...
After taking a breather I'm back at it. There are only about this many more to go before I'm done! Barrie - 25' 7" Canoe-Stern Knockabout Barrie Anne - 26' 4"...
There is a MoToR BoaTinG book from 1925 containing Atkin plans for sale at ABE that doesn't seem to be mentioned on your weblist, John. It's called: The Dingy...
That book was reissued by the Atkins as The Small Boat Book (I think because somebody else had written another "Dinghy Book" in the meantime) in 1984, and...
Hi, I'm new to this group and curious if any of the members own an Eric Junior, I have one, fiberglass, in need of repair. Am trying to perservere and to see...
Welcome aboard Tilikum. I met you a few years ago during the Wooden Boat Festival, when my little green sailing skiff, Pickle, was moored right in front of...
I haven't been back here for a while since I posted regarding tenders back in May. Thanks for the feedback; I'm open to more! That project got pushed back...
I've admired the skiff 'Ration' for a number of years and might be coming up on a period of time when I can do something about it. I'd like to build with...

There's a photo of Robb White's bastardization (his word for it) of Rescue Minor, and a link to some more photos: http://www.robbwhite.com/rescue.minor.html ...
I must disagree with you. I think the stern treatment on Robb's Rescue Minor (very Chris Craft "Barrel-Back" inspired) looks very good indeed. From the lines...
Thanks John, Its all personal taste, but I do think Robb has improved the asthetics of the Rescue Minor design by modifying the stern to a "Barrel-Back" shape....
Hi, I wrote a week or so ago. Thank you John for your reply. I do remember meeting you and have enjoyed your fabulous web site since then. Thank you also for...
In a world of plastic mass produced homogenized boats it is nice to see a distinctive boat with individual style. If any of us ever saw Robb Whites's barrel ...
