Atkin & Co 40 Pilot Schooner Gorgeous & Unique!
This is your chance to own one of only 2 Atkin & Co designed Island Princess in North America, and the only one on the Eastern seaboard. Designed in Huntington, Long Island, Deliverance lines are clearly based on those of classic Gloucester schooner designs in a small and manageable package perfect for 6 pack charters or personal cruising. Designed in the mid-40s but built in 1986, she classifies as a new-old boat, you dont see an opportunity like that often in the classic yacht world.
Her most recent accredited survey is less than one year old and available for review, giving peace of mind as to her condition she has been well used and well loved.
We purchased her in 2019 and have employed her in our charter business in NYC since, and shes proven to be an easy to handle, stable, reliable and gorgeous vessel that checks all the boxes for that classic sailing experience. Her steel hull was blasted and tie-coated with ppg-135 in 2022 below the waterline, and otherwise she has been cared for judiciously since our purchase. Her Yanmar 3Jh is one of the most reliable power plants ever built, re-powered in 2005. New engine mounts were installed in 2024, as well as extensive work in re-coating any needy areas in her bilges, which are all in all in excellent condition with mostly original coating in great condition.
Her rig is hybridised with a Marconi main, club-foot staysail and jib with a gaff rigged foresail. Her main mast is aluminum, replacing the original wooden stick in 2011 under the previous owner. Her foremast is original, of hollow birds-ey joinery and in good, serviceable condition. Full set of mast hoops for the foresail also in good serviceable condition. Her Mainsheet and Jibsheets are run aft to the helm, and her foresail and staysail are self-tending. Her running rigging is primarily traditional, with no winches, but jam-cleats for the the Jib and staysail.

Halyards are run to ample belaying pins at both mast bases and within the foresail shrouds.
While similarly sized sloops are heavily reefed in 25 knots and struggling, you can run jib and jigger and still keep dry with that glass of wine on deck. The sailplan options available with a schooner are unmatched for stability high wind situations, and all of her sails are easy to manage making even single-handing her a breeze. Wooden spars add to her beauty, but are small enough to keep their maintenance very manageable. A full keel with a Lunenberg worm-drive steering mechanism add to the robustness of this little gem, and her craftsman aesthetic make her upkeep seem a pittance when compared to her looks. In 2021 her entire woooden cap-rail was replaced with a custom one made of composite another great look with extreme durability and zero maintenance. Also in 2021 she was fit with a gorgeous new bowsprit and setting-bit. She is fit with a Lunenberg manual windlass system again, an age-tested design that is as robust as it is beautiful. She really has the best of all worlds.
She is documented for Coastwise Trade with zero restrictions.

Design info : The schooner Island Princess was conceived for comfortable cruising among the islands or anywhere and for living aboard for extended periods. She will be quite at home when the going gets rough. Her rather deep forefoot and long, straight drag will keep her on the wind in good fashion. Relatively shoal draft will permit poking into sheltered harbors and coves not accessible to her longer-legged sisters.
