Practical Small Boat Designs

by John Atkin

Overview

The name Atkin has long been associated with the best of basic boats. If you are looking for "the right little boat" to build or have built, or if you just like to dream over boat plans, you'll be delighted with this collection of John and William Atkin's most successful designs.

You'll find 28 practical and buildable small boats, from a 6'6" cold-molded round-bottomed pram to a 26' flat-bottomed shoal-draft sloop. You can study the plans for several flat-bottomed rowing and sailing boats, a 20' utility powerboat, and a 22' schooner. Most of the designs have been chosen for their simplicity and make excellent projects for amateur builders.

Superbly drawn study plans, photographs of boats both under construction and underway, together with comments by builders and owners, will help you choose the boat best suited to your level of boatbuilding skill.
