Love This Boat!
Ken Fowle sent in some pictures of his O'Day/Marscot Puffin boat and said, "Hello , I
recently acquired a Puffin 14' . I grew up learning to sail a Sprite on a lake in New
Hampshire. That, and Dad reading Joshua Slocum stories, led me to continue sailing.
The boats got bigger, worked in a sail loft, got my license, sailed in Tall Ships 2000.
What fun !
The Puffin " Hufnpuf" is now moored at the same camp in New Hampshire. It is a
wonderful boat to sail . Anyone have more info on the design or designer? A short video
of her can be seen on youtube, search for O'Day 09.
Thanks for a great website . We still have and sail the Sprite !"
