2015 Puffin 58 FT

This 2015 Puffin 58 is a steel-hulled sailing yacht designed by Olivier van Meer, built around a retractable centerboard keel that draws just 1.5 feet when raised and 3.3 feet when lowered. The shallow draft gives the boat exceptional access to shallow waters uncommon for a yacht of this size. A single Perkins Sabre M225 Ti diesel engine provides auxiliary power, delivering 221 horsepower with cruising speeds around 6 knots.

The deck layout centers on a spacious deckhouse with a saloon offering panoramic views and includes a second steering position. All sails are managed by electric furlers and winches, allowing one or two people to handle the yacht comfortably in any conditions. The boat carries bow and stern thrusters for additional maneuvering control.

Below deck, the accommodation consists of three cabins and two heads. The yacht is equipped with a central heating system and B&G navigational equipment. The design and systems support extended cruising and comfortable living aboard, with the shallow draft and electric sail handling making it well-suited to short-handed operation.
