Okay so I have read your entire site and it's quite a beautiful boat.
I was wondering if you got the instruction from the designer and the
plans or if you have some experience with this sort of construction
and did it from memory.

I bought the plans from the designer, which include a few A4 size pages with
building steps but I also bought the 'Clinker Plywood Boating Manual' by
Iain Oughtred. Apart from that, I read every WoodenBoat I could get my hands
on. This gave me enough knowledge to build the Puffin and also to develop my
own way of doing things.

Excellent, thanks. Starting a new building process always takes a lot
of research and time and I don't want to be running down unproven
sources. Your boat is beautiful so I have to imagine that there is
some knowledge contained in those sources.

Thanks again,
Bill
