The Atlantic is a one-design keelboat designed by Starling Burgess in 1928. It is a 30-foot open-cockpit day sailer typically used for day racing, rather than for overnight or ocean races. In the years following its design, fleets were established in several US ports along the eastern seaboard. Today, the Atlantic is raced primarily in Long Island Sound and in Coastal Maine, and boats are distributed among five fleets,with a total of approximately 50 boats in present use.
