Puffin was Dick Freshley's boat. Dick lived in Gig Harbor the last I heard,
used to keep his Potter moored there. He was a member of the Potter
Yachters for many years. He replaced his Potter with a Siren 17, which he
sold about a year ago. Puffin, a Mk II, is the blue-hulled #1198 on the IM
color brochure.
Are you still on the list, Dick?

>I'm looking at them as I type this. Is this the same boat?
