Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if this boat's plans show up in any of the MotorBoating's Ideal Series? I have a couple volumes and they are, I think, the ultimate boat porn! If you've never flipped through one, try e-bay or other used book sources, usually pretty cheap. They give full tables of offsets, so rather than just looking at drawings you can get on the floor and draw full size frames, or loft an entire boat, or build an entire boat right from the book! I get lost for hours in these books often.
Thanks for your time.
Brad

The design gets talked about quite a bit and the only pics that have ever been referred to are the ones at the Atkin website. (Don't mean to sound picky, but the designer's name is John Atkin, not Atkins)

I'm looking at a clipping from Motor Boating, Jan 1967, p118 (design showcase) of Atikin's "Witch of Endor." From what I can see it's identical to the sketches of "Maid of Endor." Maybe it was renamed and they are indeed the same.
