Two photos of Puffin on a grand day out with the Steam Boat Association and a new small motor launch both built by Nick Smith

Traditional boatbuilder Nick Smith has sent some more shots for our entertainment.

The first two shots of Puffin and other small steamers are from the Steam Boat Association rally at Bucklers Hard, near Beaulieu, a few weeks ago.

The little 12ft 6in mahogany runabout on the stocks in these photos is nearly finished and is now for sale – get onto Nick via the WBTA site now if you’d like to buy her!

  1. What a georgeous piece of work. Look at the precision of those rivetts! I like Puffin and have a double-chime whistle that would suit her to a tee!

  2. Hi Jeff, I'll get 'Puffin's owners, Nick and Roger Powell, to have look at Gavins' site, they may be interested in the whistle,
