I’m delighted to be able to say that the Ninigret I built last year has been featured in Woodenboat Magazine’s Small boat Annual. It’s quite a coup as my boat is the only non-American built boat in the Annual. A lot of readers have been kind enough to compliment me on the boat.

Here are a few pertinent quotes:

“Ninigret’s hull lines show a boat that is long, lean and light everything that an efficient powerboat should be.”

“Atkin & Company designed over 800 boats, many of them motorboats and many design themes similar to Ninigret were returned to and refined again and again over the course of many years. Perhaps there can be no greater recommendation for this design than to point out that she is the boat John Atkin chose for his own use in his retirement. He and his wife, Pat, enjoyed countless picinics and cruises in Ninigret, in Long Island Sound.”

“… great looking boats that do their jobs really well.”

Seasons greeting to all my readers and if you’re thinking about having a boat built be sure to give me ring +353 (0)86 158 6937 or e-mail roeboats@ymail.com to discuss your boat.
