The Puffin, original build in North Vancouver as a mould for the 23’ crown (an alternative to the 24’ calvin ) and later on modified into a boat, is past 50 years old, yet somehow I don’t want to see her die. At present she is leaking 3-4 gallons per hour.
Build out of cedar strips it was never a completely dry boat, but it has been a long time since she has been on dry land for long overdue repairs and replacement of some of the old wood.
Thanks to modern Epoxy she could be restored. 
The boat has a beautiful design. Close to the water she can be a very lively sloop and a real pleasure to sail her.
If it wasn’t for the love of wooden boats and the enjoyment she can provide…
So I’m more then willing to work to get the old sloop seaworthy again…,all it takes is the right place and the right time (which should be soon…).
The “Puffin” needs a space on dry land for the winter where I can work to restore her. I’m very flexible and willing to negotiate. Should you be able to help get in touch with me: andreasmauer@ymail.com
