Also very pretty,

I assume you mean background right?

Been watching that ad myself, being half tempted to go back to messing with the white flappy things. Not sure she is really an Atkin though - she seems to have considerably more sheer than I've ever seen Billy Atkin's Norwegian types, or John Atkin's double enders either.
Could the designer be someone else altogether named Atkins​, as the ad says?

The original Vilasar was a double ended gaff ketch.

The Cabin house being shorter in the sloop rig, makes the sheer line look more sweeping , I think.

I actually think I prefer the look of the ketch rig...
