Just in case you want to know - It is on eBay - Item # 4628603855 I'm not advertising or in any way connected to the seller - I just like seeing Atkin's boats...
Hi there, I have just aquired a 1936 william atkins design, called the katydid, and was wondering if anyone would have any information on the boat, I sailed...
My Atkin schooner, Charlene, has deadeyes and lanyards, and for a cruising boat you haul out, I think it is great. They are very easy to adjust, and they...
Wow, a Katydid! Nice boat! Mrs. Atkin will sell you a set of plans for 1/2 price since you own the boat. Do you know anything about your new boats history? Now...
I have no history of the boat, I thought that mayby someone in this group might know. The boat was given to me by a very nice gent who just wanted her out of...
It's not the biggest, but it's the NICEST wooden boat festival on the West Coast. This weekend, the 22nd & 23rd, in Depoe Bay, Oregon (between Newport and...
Congatulations, whoever you are, for completing something most of us have only "planned" on doing! Which building book did you use? Any ideas on your next...
I finally stopped dithering, and bought the aluminum for Rescue Minor. I have posted photos of the model, and first steps of cutting materials. This should be...
I've been enjoying all of the new pictures on the photo board, especially those of "Wanderer". I'm assuming that's the name of the design, as referenced in the...
... Thanks, Andrew. Wanderer was design #772, apparently done for Dell Publishings "1957 Boats". It is pretty much a flat bottomed Ninigret, near as I can...
Kind of a plywood Russell R. with a permanent cuddy instead of a folding canvas one. Russell R. is design number 712, dated February 1953. Russell R. is 21'...
Yes, it'll be an adventure! :o) I'm looking forward to watching the boat take shape. I've forgotten, what did you say you were going to use for power? Good...
I haven't heard anything from Mrs. Atkin about Glory B (she reads the messages here, but doesn't want to get directly involved with a bunch of boat nuts like...
I didn't jump in here way back when because I didn't have anything to add. But the other day at the Depoe Bay Wooden Boat Festival I saw a British Jupiter...
OK, I am still dithering about the power. This will be much heavier than Robb White's boat (1,000 plus pounds empty), so I am hesitant to go with too little....
Hey Sal's Dad, That's wonderful news. I'll be lurking around from time to time and will be delighted to help anyway I can. I have been hoping some brave soul...
My 2 cents, If you can loft all the pieces to buildt the hull you are smart enought to mount a inboard like the plans call for. After all thats one of the...
Wow a aluminum Rescue Minor that should be a great boat. William and John Atkin's were very smart fellows they designed over 65 Seabright skiffs. They did...
Niels, The keel cooler in my boat is in a fiberglass box so that the copper plate is flush with the bottom of the boat and in contact with the water. The...

Sal's Dad, I for one am willing to cut you some slack on the potential outboard conversion on your aluminum Rescue Miner. I've been struggling with the same...
... <snip> ... I like this idea a lot. I have heard it before, and it would be great to have the flexibility as to where to mount the engine. Any idea as to...
There are some other things you can do to get a cheap inboard engine. One is to haunt the catalogs and ebay for a deal. Every now and then Kubota (which makes...
