Billy Atkin, one of America's foremost 20th-century yacht designers, is noted for the wisdom and liveliness of his writing. Here are anecdotes about the designers, builders, and owners he came to know during the course of his career. Here, too, are the stories behind the making of a dozen of his more famous little ships, especially those based on the Colin Archer double-ended redningskoites. Included with them are historical photographs, boat designs, and pen-and-ink sketches by the incomparable Charles G. Davis.
