Jim Antrim is a naval architect based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has designed monohull and multihull sailboats, powerboats, electric powered boats, and rowboats.[1].
Early Career
While a student at Webb Institute of Naval Architecture[2], Antrim apprenticed for yacht designer Dick Carter[3] whose office happened to be located in Antrim’s small hometown of Nahant, Mass. After graduating from Webb Institute with a bachelor of science in naval architecture and marine engineering, Antrim was hired by respected[4] naval architect Britt Chance. In Chance’s office, Antrim oversaw preliminary design as well as performance analysis[5].
In 1976, Antrim left the East Coast to work for distinguished[6] yacht designer Gary Mull in California. At Mull's office, Antrim worked on all aspects of design and engineering, and as the in-house performance and ratings specialist. In November 1979, Antrim left Mull’s office to start Antrim Associates, Naval Architects[7]
Designs
Antrim’s designs include the 40-foot trimaran “Aotea,”[8] which holds the single-handed sailing record from San Francisco to Japan[9]; the Open 50 monohull “Everest Horizontal” which Tim Kent[10] sailed to second place in Class 2 of the 2002 Around Alone race; the 62’ electric powered trimaran[11] “Duffy Voyager”[12] which established an electric boat record for Newport Beach to Catalina Island and return[13]; the monohull sport boats Ultimate 20, Ultimate 24[14][15], Antrim 20[16] and Antrim 27[17], monohull Class 40s[18] “California Condor” and “Yippee Kai Yay”; and the trimaran rowboat “Orca,”[19] which was awarded a certificate by Guinness for the first successful crossing of an ocean by a multihull rowboat; and "Rosie G."[20], a 40 foot monohull cruiser[21] with a scow bow and junk rig.
