Description:

The Martha Green is a compact coastal cruising boat that reflects the practical wisdom of traditional American small-craft design. With a length overall of 24 feet and a generous beam of 8 feet 4 inches, this sturdy vessel offers a balanced combination of seaworthiness, simplicity, and comfortable accommodation for relaxed cruising in sheltered coastal waters.

Our workshop faithfully recreates this classic vessel using premium marine materials-including Western Red Cedar, Mahogany, Teak, and marine-grade plywood, reinforced with U.S.-made Hexcel fiberglass cloth, sealed with marine epoxy, and finished with System Three marine spar varnish for durability and a refined natural finish. Each hull is handcrafted using traditional wooden boatbuilding techniques, carefully shaping the structure to preserve the original hull geometry and characteristic lines of the design.

Typical build time ranges from 4-6 months, depending on interior finish specifications, propulsion configuration, and optional custom features.

Clients may customize interior cabinetry, deck fittings, wood combinations, trim details, cockpit arrangements, and protective finishes, allowing each Martha Green to reflect individual preferences while remaining faithful to the original concept.

Performance & Use

Designed for coastal cruising and protected inshore waters, Martha Green delivers dependable performance with a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 9-10 mph when powered by a modest inboard engine. The deadrise hull form provides smooth motion in choppy conditions while maintaining excellent stability and predictable handling.

Below deck, the vessel offers well-organized accommodations for a small crew, including built-in berths forward, a compact yet practical galley to starboard, and generous storage space throughout the cabin. The interior provides nearly 6 feet of headroom, creating a surprisingly comfortable living space for a vessel of this size. An open cockpit partially protected by a standing top or small pilothouse makes the boat ideal for leisurely coastal cruising and relaxed afternoons on calm waters.

This wooden boat crafted by us is built from Atkin, with full credit given to the original designers. For each custom commission, we acquire the appropriate plans and construct the vessel to order-offering both full-size boats and finely detailed scale models.

History:

Martha Green is a compact cruising boat designed by the renowned American naval architect John Atkin, known for creating practical and seaworthy small craft during the mid-20th century. Conceived as an economical and comfortable inshore cruiser, Martha Green was designed with simplicity of construction and dependable performance in mind. Her hull features a steady deadrise form and traditional Chesapeake Bay-inspired forefoot construction, reflecting the influence of classic working boats such as the Chesapeake Bay Skipjack.

Powered by a modest utility engine, Martha Green demonstrated that a small vessel could offer both efficiency and comfort, cruising quietly at moderate speeds while still providing accommodation for overnight trips. Over the years, many examples were built by amateur and professional builders alike, making Martha Green a respected small cruiser among traditional boat enthusiasts.
