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!
