| Schatze A 7' 10" Pram By John Atkin |
| |
| I was pleased when my friend W.H. ("Ham") deFontaine asked me to undertake the design of a little pram for his own use -- to be published by Yachting magazine. The design and the wonderfully clear "how-to-build" photographs appeared in the June 1968 issue. | |
| |
| Ham had named the new pram Feather when the design appeared in Yachting. I did not feel that the name did justice to the boat, so I changed it to Schatze -- a "little treasure." Her principal dimensions are 7 feet 10 inches overall by 3 feet 7 1/2 inches beam and 3 inches draft. Schatze is built of 1/4 inch marine plywood. | |
| |
| The article in Yachting stirred up a great deal of interest, and I have sold well over 100 sets of her working drawings. These include an isometric drawing of her building form, or jig, in addition to complete details and dimensions. | |
