Jeff Willis writes:
"As youths on Lake Superior, we cruised extensively on an Atkin-designed schooner built to the Little Maid of Kent design. We still hold Atkin designs in very high regard, and I think this would be a fitting way to commemorate our adventures abroad on the lake. ...Here is a picture of Carioca, our beloved schooner. "
