Puffin 14

[Johnweikel]

Looking for Oday Puffin 14 photos of the entire rudder and the floor of the cockpit. The three or four I've found don't show the lower end of the rudder and none of the cockpit floor. I am restoring a Puffin 14 and do not know if the rudder is correct . It does not extend below the small fin under the transom but towards the aft. Seems like it would cause heavy steering. Hope someone can help as there were few of these made. John D. Weikel

John,
I've been told that the O'Day designers submitted there boat specs to the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic CT. Whether they included the small O'Day Sailboats I don't really know, but I've heard that you can buy these drawings and specs from them. It may be worth a shot to email them and find out.
