Puffin II  

built in 1897

Puffin broke her mooring in the bad weather last season and came in this winter for repairs. Her bulwark was damaged and needs to be refastened and have a new Iroko capping. The AWL GRIP paint work then had to be matched. Her bowsprit was damaged and needed repairs and a new stainless steel cranes iron was made and fitted. Her main mast also suffered from the scarph joints failing so new sections of Douglas fir were scarphed in and the mast re-varnished. Her garboard seams were raked out and re-caulked.
