Puffin 37
Anyone looking for a customised and particularly robust cruising boat will find the Puffin 37 an interesting alternative. The test in the new issue of YACHT

More individuality is hardly feasible. The Puffin 37, a concept by Dutchman Olivier van Meer, is available in both composite and aluminium construction. The robust ocean cruiser is also more versatile than almost any other ship of the same size. The customer has a free choice within the limits of what is feasible. The voluminous hulls with the very pronounced deck projection, a high and almost vertical bow stem and the strikingly angular pilothouse give the Puffin brand an extremely strong character. The traditional cutter rigging is also a characteristic feature of the brand.

The YACHT test editorial team put the latest boat from the brand, now built by VMG Yachtbuilders in Enkhuizen, to the test. You can read the detailed test of the Puffin 37 herein the new YACHT, issue 21/2017. The magazine is now available at newsagents, in the DK-Shop or directly here to the order digitally.
