We offer 4 Puffin Models to choose from:
Puffin Sport
The
original Puffin was the 10.5 ft open "Sport" model. After the
redesign the Puffin Sport has dropped a couple of pounds. It
now weighs just under 17 pounds! Because it has no deck, there
is no cockpit to limit your space. The 28 inch beam gives it
great stability and makes the Sport perfect for activities like
fishing and wildlife viewing. The aluminum frame gives the Sport
a sharp entry and clearly defined keel, so paddling efficiency
is very good for such a small boat. An optional deck is available.
Puffin Kayak 12 ft
The
shortest decked Puffin is stable enough to make almost anybody
feel secure. The Kayak 12 tracks well and is easy to paddle.
Inexperienced paddlers find the 12 perfect for exploring, and
more experienced ones often prefer it because it makes a stable
platform for activities like wildlife viewing and photography.
With the optional spray skirt in place, you are well protected
from the elements.
Puffin Swift 14
ft
The
Swift is faster, sleeker and better tracking than the 12 ft
model. It shares convenience features with its 12' sibling,
but additional structure has been added to increase stiffness.
We enjoy paddling the Swift because of its speed and tracking.
For activities like fishing and bird watching, the solid stability
of the beamier Sport or Kayak 12 may be a better alternative.
Puffin II Double
(now available with 2 deck designs)
The
most versatile Puffin. It can handle two paddlers with gear
for the day or one with enough gear for a week or two. As a
solo it can also be rigged with a deck that will support a spray
skirt. Or, a 3-piece deck offers two paddling positions, but
does not support spray skirts. Like the other Puffins the Puffin
II is a recreational boat and is not intended for very rough
conditions although waves occasionally washing over the deck
do not pose a problem.
