For many years, William Atkin, later aided by his son John, would turn out a design nearly every month for the readers of Motor Boating magazine. These were not just quick sketches but fully developed plans, complete with construction drawings, instructions for the builder, and a bit of history and philosophy thrown in for good measure.
