The Biggest Little Boat - 12' Scamp Microcruiser Sailboat

The Scamp is a seaworthy 12' sailboat that can handle a good dose of adventure. Just under 12 feet in length, Scamp boasts an unusual combination of features that give her the unique ability to explore waters too shallow for a larger boat, while retaining most of the bigger boat's comforts and capabilities.
An offset centerboard opens up the cockpit and an 8'3" sleeping area, and 172 pounds of water ballast provide exceptional stability. A pair of grounding skegs on her flat bottom keep Scamp perfectly upright when landing on a beach or when the tide goes out.
Gig Harbor Boat Works' fiberglass version of this delightful design created by John Welsford is lightweight, durable, and capable of holding all the cargo you need for your next adventure!

It doesn't look like it, but this little boat is EXPENSIVE. About a car and a half's worth, brand new and bare bones, definitely not in a day sailer's budget.

The sail remind me of those old Chinese Junks

[@thomassmith8550]

forgot to say how much it costs

This boat is awesome and cheap, just get a boat loan / financing and plan to keep it for ten years and it’s worth it. Wood boats are the best and this one with full enclosure and oars and outboard is THE ULTIMATE BOAT-you can choose any propulsion type ! This things the best

Couldn't be used as a big boat tender. Shame

Many thanks for this review. I've been attracted to the Peep Hen because it has some of the same advantages as the Scamp, but they're out of production and almost impossible to find. The Peep Hen does have a much more comfortable cabin, so Gig Harbor Boat Works might want to consider bringing a boat much like it back into production. The two would go well together.

It looks to me like the only reply has been to someone asking the price! I too am struggling to find buying details for either the dinghy or the plans

[@penhdog2207]

How much would this boat be ?

[@rustyholt6619]

might be the one

[@jonahwhale9047]

I'd rather have a cabin than a cockpit. Is there an enclosed version?

[@SheplerStudios]

Absolutely love this boat!

[@antoniescargo4158]

Mooie boot /bootje.

[@gornal85]

Really great overview and honestly represents the Scamp well. We've been sailing our Scamp for four years now and absolutely love it. It really IS as great as the video suggests. Thanks for making a great boat. So whimsical, but so tough, incredibly practical and enjoyable.

It's soo cute!!!

[@kevinbwillson4161]

This little charmer is a boyhood dream come true

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

Interesting boat! Reminds me of the SF Pelican, Bolger's "Old Shoe" and "Micro".

[@melvinolthof6881]
