Monroe County Habitat for Humanity

LXCL:The AMF Alcort Puffer is a classic American sailing dinghy designed by Fred Scott and first produced in 1972 by AMF Alcort, a division of American Machine and Foundry. This versatile 12.5-foot sailboat was designed as a multi-purpose vessel capable of sailing, rowing, or accommodating a small outboard motor, making it an excellent choice for beginners, recreational sailors, and boating enthusiasts alike. Approximately 5,000 Puffers were built before production ended, making this a unique vintage sailboat that is no longer in production. The Puffer's compact size, durable construction, and user-friendly design have helped it remain a popular choice for those looking for a reliable and enjoyable small sailing craft. Built with fiberglass construction, the Puffer features a double-hull design, molded seating, positive foam flotation, hiking straps, and adjustable jib fairleads. Its shallow draft—only 4 inches with the daggerboard retracted—allows for easy launching, beaching, and transportation. The boat also includes a transom-mounted motor bracket designed to accommodate a small outboard engine for auxiliary power. This auction includes the AMF Alcort Puffer sailboat and registered trailer, providing everything needed to transport and enjoy this classic vessel on lakes, waterways, and recreational boating areas.Auction winner must pick up boat &amp; trailer with a 1 &amp; 7/8" trailer hitch. Winner must pay for title transfer and trailer license plate.
