My seemingly endless quest to pick a boat for fishing and day cruising on Flathead Lake (the largest natural fresh water lake west of the Mississippi) may be...
AD, Ouch! Your winter storage requirements may limit your construction method choices. Conventional plank on frame will certainly present a challenge to...
... Thanks Lewis. I was figuring on using plywood planking. John Atkins made reference to the possibility of batten seam plywood planking in his article on the...
Sounds like you've got a handle on trailer-friendly construction. Lapstrake might be just a tad lighter than batten-seam, but boats you're interested in aren't...

Hi All: I'm new here, and have known about John K's site for some time owing to his Ideal Series pages, and his link to the Atkin pages. I just got a...

Hi John: The only other clue on there is that the plans are from the "Motor Boating Build a Boat Series" I don't know if that directly coincides with the...
Hello all. Just a note to announce a web site/foundation i have just started. As many of you probably have, I have the gift (curse) of taking old wooden...
Hello Scott. I know it's not an Atkin's, but I have a free Murray Peterson 44 Schooner here. Its in need of restoration, but she has very nice traditional...
Even if you're just changing the mainsail of a schooner check the center of effort. Of course if you change the mainsail to a gaff sail you're on your own and...
Most of the MoToR BoatinG Ideal Series books consist of reprints of the "Build a Boat" articles. It sounds like you have a copy of the article straight from...
Thanks for the info Bruce. 43' is far to much boat for me. That's why I was so excited about finding Atkin's 30'/ 36' schooners. By the way I'm also in...
Welcome to the list, Scott. As long as the topic is current, let me add that I have put together a personal site for Atkin schooner enthusiasts called "A...

I've passed your message on to Matt McCleary. Unfortunately, Yahoo's f***ed up photos section doesn't tell us who posted those photos. Maybe he'll see your...
