“Puddleduck” Launch in 1984

In 1980, while pregnant with our first daughter, Jan started the lofting process for Puddleduck. She was a 21.5’ Howard Chappelle hull and Bill Garden topside; launched in 1984.  The young gentlemen on the sailboat are two fellows we hosted for 3-months through Canada World Youth.  This non-profit organization pairs Canada with a partner country; spending 3-months in both countries.  Participants live with host families, taking part in unique opportunities as a volunteer; discovering other cultures; learning another language.  Our token Canadian is Lloyd; Our Philippine friend is Greg.  We still keep in touch with Greg.
