The Atlantic was designed by W. Starling Burgess, who was a graduate of M.I.T., and a protege of the great Nathaniel Herreshoff for whom he worked in his early days.
The Atlantic is sailed along the Sound with primary fleets at several yacht clubs on the Sound and at Blue Hill, Maine. Day races of approximately 8-10 miles are sailed on weekends from May to September. The big cockpit, easy sail handling and simple rig attract family and sailing friends for crew. The Atlantic Class Association actively encourages the growth of the class and the establishment of new fleets.
The Atlantic Class Championship Series, held each year since 1929 and consisting of six races in three days, brings from 25 to 35 boats together.

The 2.4 Metre originated from Stockholm in 1983 by local yacht designers who used the "R Metre" rule to create a single-handed keelboat the 2.4mR. It is a thoroughbred racer that has the complexity of a sophisticated keelboat, without the high costs, and the fingertip feeling of a dinghy. As a sister to the bigger 6m, 8m and 12m yachts, she possesses the typical powerful Metre boat sailing style.
