The Puffin 42 has now been launched and rigged, and is starting to look exactly as she was designed to be: a true sailing yacht.
After launching, she was directly sailed to the centre of Enkhuizen, where the rig was installed by the rigging experts of Jachtservice De Werf. With the mast now in place, her profile has changed completely. This is the stage we love, the stage where the yacht starts to come together as a sailing vessel.
The Puffin 42 is equipped with a cutter rig, featuring a mast with double spreaders and a diamond stay construction to provide additional stiffness and support to the top. This setup offers both strength and control, contributing to safe and stable sailing in a wide range of conditions.
She is fitted with two headsails and a Code 0, allowing her to adapt easily to different wind angles and conditions.
With the rig now installed, we focus on final preparations before she heads out for her first sea trials.This Puffin 42 represents the next step for Puffin Yachts, built by VMG Yachtbuilders.All Puffin yachts are always designed by Olivier van Meer Design BV.
