Christina Grant is constructed to Bill Atkin’s design #433 that he called Jerry Colemore. The hull is planked with white pine over oak, fastened with copper rivets. Decks are epoxy sheathed plywood and the mast is hollow box section made of spruce. Instead of the original knockabout sloop rig, Christina Grant was fitted with a cutter rig that is about 50% larger than the original design. Her owners spent about 7,500 hours over a period of 5 1/2 years to build her from lofting to launch. Since then, in addition to extensive cruising in home waters of Nova Scotia, they have voyaged to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Newfoundland, Scotland, Ireland and home again. Christina Grant won Concours d’Elegance first prizes at the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta in 2000 and at the Mystic Seaport Wooden Boat Show in 2018.

Everything about Christina Grant’s exterior is breathtakingly perfect. I would love to see her interior,…more beauty…more about yourselves, too, in the bio pages. There are so many beautiful boats in this show that it’s hard to say which is the most beautiful, but I would vote for yours over mine in a heartbeat.
I love William Atkin designs, and Christina Grant is an absolute beauty! My own boat is Cape George cutter, Tally Ho! CG seems to have a little more spring to her sheer, and maybe a little bit finer entry? Is she based upon Atkin’s Tally Ho Major? I’d be interested to know! Regardless, she is clearly Atkin, and makes my heart flutter, just seeing these pictures. Enjoy your beautiful boat!
Love the outside chain plates and the cutter rig with the high cut yankee. Looks like a go to sea boat. Been into Chester by camper van and would have stopped if we had seen this one nearby.
Thanks Dean. Yes, CG is an excellent sea boat that has carried us safely (and elegantly, I would also say) for many miles. Hope that you male itto Chester again some day and look us up.

She looks great, Wilson!
