Atkin
Description
The Tina (also known as the Atkin Tina) is an 11-foot flat-bottom gaff-rigged catboat designed by William (and John) Atkin and published in the 1930s–1940s as a simple, able little ship intended for beginners in sail. It was featured in MoToR Boating magazine’s Ideal Series and is one of several small Atkin catboats (including the similar Nina). No factory production run existed; it is a plans-built design meant for amateur or small professional builders using basic lumber and traditional methods (flat bottom for ease of construction and beaching). Exact quantity built is unknown but remains a popular small traditional design among wooden boat enthusiasts, with examples still sailing or under restoration today. Plans are historically available through Atkin & Co. resources (now archived at Mystic Seaport and similar sites).
