In Chance’s office, Antrim oversaw preliminary design as well as performance analysis

In 1976, Antrim left the East Coast to work for distinguished 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
