The name 'Atkin' has long been associated with the best in basic boats. If you are looking for a classic boat design, you'll be delighted with the design collections of John (1918-1999) and William (1882-1962) Atkin, which are now being sold by John's widow, Pat. When I have a client who is looking for the perfect design, I often suggest the Atkin designs as a starting point due to the great variety of sizes and styles, and all are proven designs.
Ninigret On April 12, 2009 we launched a 22' Atkin-designed Ninigret for clients in the northern Chesapeake Bay. She is constructed of glued plywood lapstrakes over sawn white oak frames. The powerplant is a Yamaha 40hp four stroke outboard mounted in a well.
