Greetings all PocketShip folks,
Puffin was launched July 18, 2018. Puffin was started from a kit in November, 2015, here in New Hampshire (where winters preclude work on the hull). Building was great fun. I give a standing ovation for the assistance I received from all the Chesapeake Light Craft folks including John Harris himself, Terry, Nikki, and un-named others. Thanks also to Geoff Kerr (of Two Daughters Boatworks, builder of PS #1) for his assistance both at various WoodenBoat Shows and at his shop. Thanks to all those who post on the PS forum; over the course of my build, I gathered a multi-page word document of the URL links to various topics you've all written about, and it's a file I will return to many times going forward. And a special thanks to Wayne in Orlando for providing lots of timely advice during Puffin's construction and allowing me to sail with him on the Janey Mack (pictured above).
I offer a couple photos of Puffin under sail and at its mooring on our local lake. Next summer I hope to have Puffin sailing on Penobscot Bay in Maine, and may post more photos then.
All the best,
Mark Nunlist
