The Puffer is a 13 ft. fractional sloop with very low freeboard. I'd like responses from sailors with experience sailing one. I'm sure they can ship water easily if not sailed flat. If they swamp do you bail first and then climb aboard? -CH PUFFER (AMF) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com  

I am pleased to find another owner, I sailed one as a kid in lake MI about 20 years ago and now sail one on a small inland lake I was lucky enough to find floating in the water when we bought the house. Parts and other owners are hard to find. Never swamped one, but I find it sails well in light to moderate winds, not enough in the water for higher winds just gets blown direction of the Wind Tom  

Hello, I just bought a Puffer and she needs some parts. I need a cockpit drain plug and a rigging guide, or owners manual. Anybody know where i can get these items. Don  

Did you ever find a drain plug for your puffer,where and can you tell me the dimension. I've tried West Marine catalog and I can't get the right thickness to stay in tightly. Thanks, Sarah

AMF was founded in New York in 1900 as American Machine and Foundry, a manufacturer of industrial equipment for the tobacco industry. After World War II the company moved into the sport of bowling and AMF automated bowling equipment and bowling centers became profitable business ventures. During the late 1960s AMF expanded into other leisure based industries including Hatteras, Slickcraft, and Crestliner power boats, as well as Alcort sailboats. In 1985, a Minnesota-based company called Minstar, Inc. bought the company, recognized that bowling was its biggest strength and sold off most of the other divisions. In 2009 the company was owned by a Chicago‑based private investment firm Code Hennessy and Simmons, LLC. and maintained its brand association with bowling. AMF filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2012. It merged with Bowlmar and, along with Brunswick Corp., became Bowlmar AMF. (last edit 4/2017)

  1. Alcort

    Alcort stopped selling kits in the mid-60s. By 1982 over 200,000 SUNFISH had been sold. Despite the numbers, producing a single Sunfish hull was a labor intensive task. All the layup in the female mold was done by hand. Chopper guns were never used. By 1969 Alcort was overwhelmed by the ever increasing demand and the company was sold to AMF.
