Description:

The Carryme is a smart and practical 9-foot wooden dinghy designed by William Atkin to be light, strong, and easy to handle. Created as an answer to the typical small-boat challenges of weight, instability, and storage, Carryme embodies Atkin’s philosophy of efficient, functional design. Compact yet remarkably seaworthy, it delivers reliable performance as a tender, utility boat, or simple pleasure craft—proving that good design never needs to be complicated.

This 30-inch custom-made scale model is handcrafted to order, faithfully recreating every line and proportion of the original Carryme. Built entirely by hand using the traditional plank-on-frame method, each model is made from premium Western Red Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, and other fine exotic woods. Every piece requires approximately 4–5 months of meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring museum-quality precision and finish.

Throughout the building process, clients receive photo updates at key stages for review and approval:

- Hull shaping and planking
- Interior seating and detailing
- Final painting, varnishing, and finishing touches

Once completed, the model is carefully packed in a reinforced wooden crate for safe international delivery.

Available exclusively as a custom-made project, the Carryme boat model highlights the enduring beauty of traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful design—simple, functional, and timelessly elegant. To begin your build or request custom specifications, please visit Custom-made Projects

History:

Carryme, a 9-foot flat-bottom skiff by William Atkin, was designed in response to the common complaint that most dinghies are heavy, awkward, and troublesome to carry on deck. Atkin addressed these issues by minimizing scantling weight and stripping the construction down to only what was essential, resulting in a skiff of about 80 pounds—light for her size yet still strong and practical.

With proper flare to avoid the crankiness and wetness typical of many flat-bottom dinks, Carryme offers a stable, easy-rowing, well-towing tender with enough capacity for two and room for a third.

Her balanced proportions, comfortable freeboard, and manageable depth make her a highly serviceable small craft that stays out of the way onboard while delivering reliable performance on the water.
