Pudgy in Boat shows

The Pudgy generated a lot of interest and excitement at the Maine Boatbuilders' Show in Portland, Maine, and at the HISWA show in Amsterdam. It will also be shown at the VISMA show in Rotterdam, beginning March 27th!  See info on the Pudgy in boat shows in Europe.

David Hulbert becomes a polar bear!

David, along with other civic-minded Portlanders, jumped into the icy Casco Bay, to raise money for the first annual "Diaper Dip," which provides needy tots with diapers. David was in and out of the water faster than it was possible for an ordinary camera to capture on film. The above photos show the water immediately before and after his plunge.

We're featured as ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOATS OF THE YEAR in the Boats of the Year  issue of Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors Magazine (March 2007). Here's how it concludes: "Given a choice on an offshore passage between the Pudgy and an inflatable liferaft or the average dinghy, there's no doubt which I'd choose."
