[1][2] The Atlantic City is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of solid laminate fabmat (stitched fiberglass fabric), with wood trim.
The hull has a plumb stem, an angled transom, a shallow-draft, transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a retractable weighted centerboard.
[1] The boat is fitted with a German BMW diesel engine of 12 hp (9 kW) for docking and maneuvering.
[2] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "if you've ever heard the sailor's description of a cozy cruiser, 'drinks six, eats four, sleeps two,' you'll appreciate that this boat is different: she drinks eight (if squeezed into the cockpit at anchor), eats four (at a dinette below, unless you go for trays on laps), and sleeps six (double berth under the starboard cockpit, upper and lower berths to starboard forward, and a dinette that converts to another double).
Worst features: Her sail area of 452 square feet, all in one big piece of cloth, can be hard to manage.
