The search results provide excellent information for most sections.

  • Introduction: Confirmed designer W. Starling Burgess and builder Abeking & Rasmussen. The boat is a 30-foot open-cockpit day sailer, typically used for day racing. It's a one-design keelboat.
  • History and Design: Production started in 1929 by A&R, with 99-100 wooden boats. Later, 100+ fiberglass versions were built since 1954. Burgess designed it as the "Atlantic Coast One Design," a 30-foot prototype sloop. The goal was a robust day racer. It features a large cockpit and a generous sail plan of nearly 400 sq ft with a club-footed jib, designed for ease of handling. The class has strict one-design principles.
  • Sailing Performance and Handling: I have the calculated ratios: SA/D (21.96), B/D (0.62), D/L (204.76). These align with the description of a performance-oriented day racer. The boat is described as "superbly balanced" and "exciting" for racing.
  • Accommodations and Layout: The boat is described as an "open-cockpit day sailer." This implies limited interior accommodations. Grounded search did not provide detailed interior layouts or descriptions for an "Atlantic (Burgess)" that suggest extensive cruising accommodations beyond basic shelter. The "max_headroom_ft" is null in the, further supporting this.
  • Owner's Perspectives: The searches yielded many results about "Atlantic crossing" or "Burgess yachts" (referring to a brokerage, not the designer), but very few specific owner reviews or common problems for the "Burgess Atlantic" sailboat model. The nature of a one-design day racer suggests fewer deep "owner review" discussions compared to cruising boats. I will likely omit or significantly downplay this section if no specific owner feedback on the Burgess Atlantic model itself is found.

Confidence Score: 5/5 - I have enough information from the searches and the provided context to fulfill the request.

Strategizing complete. I will now generate the response.
