A Celebration of Atkin Schooners:

 

 

Links for Sailors

 

 

Atkin & Co.   This is the source for all Atkin designs currently available.

 

Mother of All Maritime Links  This is the only absolutely indispensable link for anyone who does things in or on the water.  John Kohnen is its caretaker, and incidentally, he is also the webmaster for the Atkin & Co. Site, and listmaster for the Atkin chat room on Yahoo.

 

Schoonerman  A fan site for schooners and tall ships, with useful links for maritime junkies.

 

Great Lakes Schooner Union  Nominally meant to be a gathering point for those who work as crew on tall ships and sailing excursion boats on the Great Lakes, it is really a drinking society in disguise.  It has links to shipping and ecological disasters around the world.

 

Colne Smack Web Page  If you are into traditional sailing craft and particularly traditional rigging, this is a great site.

 

Old Gaffers Association  This is a great site for all things Gaff Rig, with excellent links for gaff rig hardware.

 

These are links to businesses that make it possible for me to have a boat:

 

AuctionReach  This is an Ebay services company that sells things for people on Ebay.

Bookstream, Inc.  This is a used book business on the Internet, listing at Advanced Book Exchange.  There are some boat books on our list, but not many.  For some reason, all the good ones don’t get listed…

CollectorPedia, Inc. A source for vintage catalogs for collectable items.
