Shorty

The Puddleduck (or PD to it's friends) Racer was created in a moment of sheer inspiration which was destined to bring him fame, but alas, no fortune, by David "Shorty" Routh in Arizona.

Now I did get a complete profile to run here, which started with Shorty being taken to sea in a clothes basket from the time he began breathing, and spoke about him never having had a time in his life when he's been without a boat, but I accidentally deleted it and have been too embarrassed to ask him to send another copy.(Sorry Shorty!)

I'm sure you get the picture though! You can find his other great invention here!
