THE PUFFIN PHILOSOPHY ⛵
This movie is based on the life story of Olivier van Meer. In this movie he explains how and why he designed the Puffin range as it is, why it has been a success for over 30 years and why these yachts have been sailing all over the world.
No two identical Puffin yachts have ever been built, as each Puffin is customized to fit her owner’s wishes and needs. From watertight bulkheads and a high, protected cockpit to smart rigging choices and practical onboard systems, every detail serves a purpose. Puffins are yachts designed for real-world cruising: safe, comfortable and easy to handle.
