Chris White's Atlantic Cats are proven world cruisers. He used to sell plans to individuals. There were six Atlantic 46 cats built per his website, plus a few other plan sets sold. Check his website and google the boat names for details and photos. These cats are in the same class as Gunboats and you can build one yourself because:
A few years ago I purchased the plans for a CW Atlantic 46 Long Ranger (effecitvely an Atlantic 48) and SOME supplies. Supplies included enough 25 year old clear Western Red Cedar for the hulls, rolls of fiberglass, some marine plywood, heads, etc. I can provide a more complete list of supplies to interested folks.
A change in life plans suggests that I sell. This is the one and ONLY time i will advertise the plans & materials for sale on this site. Chris does not sell these plans anymore to individuals so far as I know.
So here is your one chance to build your own true world class cat. You cannot buy cedar this clear anymore - it's worth $10K by itself given current WRC pricing. There have never been another set of A46 plans offered for sale to my knowledge, except when I purchased these plans a few years ago.
This is a one time opportuniity, admittidly not for everyone.
I searched for years for self-build plans for a cat like this. Few exist and I did not have the $$$ for a professionally built one.
$20,000 for everything, located in Arkansas.
Please no ridiculous low ball offers or rude comments, just keep scrolling- If you're seriously interested and have funds available today please respond and I will provide you additional details in off-forum emails.
Also - DON'T ask me to sell digital copies of the plans. The plans are Chris's intellectual property and one set of plans convey the right to build one boat. End of story. I shouldn't have to include this statement, but I've already been asked.
If you don't care for the Atlantic series of cats, or think this design is dated, please keep scrolling. I do not want this to turn into another endless discussion of the merits of any particular cat, nor a debate on self building versus buying something different.
On a positive note - For the few buyers that may want to tackle this project, here is your one chance.
I will respond to inquiries in the order they were received.
Thanks, Rusty
