Book about a 2-1/2 ton Hillyard called \"Puffin\"

Does anyone her know the title and author of a book written about a 2-1/2 ton Hillyard called "Puffin"?

I was talking to her new owner today, and he mentioned that a book had been written about her. I'd like to get hold of a copy but all I can remember is that the title had "2-1/2" in it.

Good luck in getting an affordable copy. Willing to split two ways if you are eager to get a copy. I posted a while back in the book section, the book is: Two and a Half ton dream – Ray Whitaker

Thanks, JimmyNoBoat for that info

Roach 1948, I had a look on Amazon and it's listed at £89! I'm afraid that even half of that is too much so I will have to content myself by reading it in the National Maritime Museum library for free.

Well I've got a copy! Nice tale about buying a boat from Maldon, & trials and tribulations about first owning a boat, things that go wrong & boating around on the Blackwater.

Is your friend a CA member? Worth checking to see if it's in their library.
