PUFFIN 42 UPDATE: ENTERING THE FINAL PHASE
This is the phase of the build where the apparent chaos on board increases. More and more components come together, all at the same time. Interior elements, systems and finishing details are installed in parallel. While the yacht is clearly taking shape, the risk of damage also grows.
To protect her during this stage, the Puffin 42 is now almost completely wrapped. The exterior paintwork is covered with a special protective layer to prevent any damage. Inside, floors, furniture and surfaces are carefully shielded. Everything is focused on delivering the yacht without a single scratch.
This also means that the photos towards the end of the build will not become cleaner or more impressive at first glance. On the contrary. The yacht will look increasingly cluttered. Only in the final days before delivery will all protection be removed. That moment reveals the yacht as she is meant to be seen.
In reality, this growing layer of protection is a clear sign of progress. The more covered she is, the closer she is to completion.
The interior is coming together beautifully. This Puffin 42 features a modern light oak interior, combined with the robust aluminium finish of the hull. The contrast with the elegant, white sprayed superstructure works exactly as intended. Strong, functional elements such as the bimini, solar arch and tender setup add to her purposeful character. These details are what make this Puffin 42 unique.
The build continues to run smoothly. Most systems are already installed and integrated. With delivery planned for this spring, we are now firmly in the final stretch.
More soon, as she moves closer to completion! … See MoreSee Less

PUFFIN 42: WORK CONTINUES ABOVE AND BELOW DECK
The Puffin 42 is steadily coming together, with progress visible throughout the yacht.
The wheelhouse is under construction, while interior work continues in the saloon and cabins. Wall panelling is being installed, and the bathroom and toilet areas are moving ahead with timberwork, tank installations, and final fittings. The chart table has been placed, and one of her classic portholes has been fitted. Many of the cabinets have been built and are ready to be placed.
On deck, the winches are now in place, and SDH will be fitting the anchor winch. The centreboard has also been made and is ready to be installed.
Meanwhile, Jongkind is progressing on the technical systems. Wiring has been installed, systems are being connected, and anti-condensation coating has been applied in the engine room.
This Puffin is beginning to show her character more and more, both inside and out. We’ll be sharing more soon!

PUFFIN 42 UPDATE: PROGRESS ON INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR
Things are moving forward on the Puffin 42. This Friday and Saturday, the deck will be placed, which is a major step in the build. Preparations for this have already been made: the winches are positioned, and the spacer rings will be loosely fitted before the weekend. The solar arch, made by SDH, has also been installed.
Inside, the yacht is also taking shape. The subfloor has been installed, and the saloon bench is now in place. The upper cabinets, guest cabin wardrobe and wall panels are all ready for installation.
On the technical side, Jongkind has been making solid progress. Wiring and tubing have been installed, tanks are in place, and the engine has been mounted. Cabling for lighting and switch panels is already routed through the walls.
With work progressing on both the interior and exterior, the Puffin 42 is clearly entering her next phase. More updates are coming soon, so stay tuned!
