Win a Puffin Dinghy

August 15 -- Enter our raffle to win a fine Puffin Dinghy, for a mere $1 per ticket -- or six for $5. Generously donated to Penobscot Marine Museum by Hamilton Marine, the Puffin was described by Cruising World as "a nice compromise of weight, appearance, performance and price." Specs for this great little tender: 8'6" LOA; Beam 49"; Weight 75 lb., Capacity 3 persons. Made by Frankfort Boatworks, of nearby Frankfort, Maine, the Puffin lists for more than $1300 retail.

Tickets are available at our Admission Center in Searsport and at the PMM booth at the following shows: Belfast Harbor Fest (Aug. 20); Camden Windjammer Festival (Sept. 2-4); Common Ground Fair (Sept. 23-25). (Sorry, no phone or web sales.) The raffle closes October 22, and we'll draw the winner the next day, Oct. 23 -- the final day of our 2011 exhibit season.
