Boat Called Scamp

This is the real-life story of a small sailboat that some claim has cornered the market on "cuteness." Yet, it sails with a stability, safety, and speed that is remarkable in a craft just under twelve-feet long. It is called a "microcruiser," and in the few short years since the prototype was first launched in November of 2010, has gained a loyal following, and the fleet is rapidly growing in number.It all started in the boyhood dreams of teenagers. Now grown to men, they reached out to a designer in New Zealand. Finally, Scamp was born of the fortuitous confluence of individuals in a unique corner of the sailing world, Port Townsend, Washington.
