Welcome to the forum. Is this the Puffin you mean and for others to have a look at?

There are other places to look for plans but Sarik might be a good place to have hunt around.

And / or you could be tempted to join the Cossack Mass Build which is Sarik plan MM500 by Vic Smeed.

Anyway – Good luck and I am sure someone else will be along with some other suggestions.

Hi David thanks for posting appreciated they look great, nice job! wow the plans look a bit fragile, do you recall which model boat magazine they were originally published in and if so the month?

I think this may be the plan you want Clyde Puffer

hi david,

the plan is in good condition for age. the magazine is radio control modeller magazine dated nov/dec 1985 as first addition. I could scan as A4 size as this is what I did so as to save actual plan if that helps, then email it to you with build pictures as well.

er….unless I am totally wrong isn't there a puffer plan in the July MB issue?? Ashley

[David Kelly 5Participant @davidkelly5]

Hi David

Thank you for the kind offer appreciated, before you do consider doing so can you tell me the exact boat length according to plans

of model and beam width as it appears to be design for electric small motor, I would be interested in seeing if it could be retrofit for a small steam engine power plant to be placed in the center engine well

again very much appreciated David

[david taylorParticipant @davidtaylor]

hi david

the length is twenty and a half inches x width is five and a half inches, depth is 4 inches where the hold is and four and a half inches up to top. L 20 1/2" x W 5 1 /2" D 4" to hold and 41/2 "to bulwark. hope you can follow don't use meteric sorry

There is indeed Ashley, a quick build, stand off scale plan of a Clyde Puffer, the Sandy Bank. Back copies available from the usual sources, which includes a build guide of course.
