Where do I get some of those pills?
No point...they don't work. ⚓👍
@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx ahh, that's no good, I was hoping to finally find a cure for my cronic Oneboatmoreitis.
Mind you, what is your current boat count? Prehaps they are having a slight effect...
@@bentucker5009 ...we're just making room for the next one...or two...damn it...time for another pill...
No matter how late it is or how bad the weather, I am not stopping to camp on or near a place named "Snake Island".
As a fellow SCAMPer I really appreciate this video. Great job. I learned some things. Love my wood SCAMP.
Thanks Mat and Jo, fantastic video, packed with great ideas for SCAMP enhancements. Thankyou for documenting your SCAMP so comprehensively, much appreciated!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Gary. 👍🏾⚓️
Hey thanks heaps, really enjoyed the trip back to Snake Island. I used to sail/camp in a 14’ clinker dinghy we called “Swallow”. We used to cruise to New Norfolk and back - I was about 10 years old, and my brother 14. Thanks so much for your excellent review - what a great little boat Scamp is. Always enjoy your videos!

That tent is a perfect solution. Just lovely lateral logical thinking ❤
Thank you for letting us follow along. I enoyed it and it made me smile. Seems like quality of life
A very enjoyable video for a vicarious adventure. Stuck in the office dreaming about getting away on the water. Nicely done!
Really enjoyed this, thanks. Don't forget to pull up your CB and rudder blade when you row - it helps.
One of the most informative & enjoyable 'watch's ' I have have seen --- just so good to see how well you can sail & overnight in the most relaxing easy way. Fanastic. :)
We live in Gig Harbor, so it’s great to see these boats all over the world! Really enjoyed your video. As you sail around Tasmania I follow along with my chart.
Best regards from the Pacific Northwest of the US.
What a great enthusiastic video with out being over the top and of you and Jo pointing out the virtues of this unbelievable little boat, and passing on some great information. You have an excellent relaxed style. Well done.
Thank you. I learned alot from you
Rowing and regenerating. Impressive!
Really enjoyed that wealth of information you've passed on thanks!
Lots of good tips. Thanks guys.
What a great boat. Cheers from the other side of the world!
A muchly enjoyable and informative video.
Thank you. That's amazing. Been thinking about selling my 18 ft glass boat and building a scamp. You've just about convinced me. Love your channel. More please. 39:20
Another great video showing the good, the bad, and the other bits. What a great boat. Cheers
Thanks Mat, that was quite an expensive little video. I now have 2 Baltic jackets, a chain sock and a Cooper anchor on the shopping list. Love your work!
I love the blooper, cheers Paul
Lots of great info for any small boat. thanks!
Приятно смотреть на людей увлечённых парусами А лодочка и правда славная .Капитану здоровья и удачи.
Great video filled full of good info on dinghy criusing. Nicely done
Fantastic to watch and interesting and thorough explanations.
I’m still hoping one of these will come up for sale in North Carolina one of these days! Fits my desire for small boat sailing perfectly. If I don’t put a motor on it, but row or scull, it doesn’t even have to be registered here.
Build one!
Fantastic Video. Amongst the best to learn some sailing tips. Thanks for doing this!
Ahhh, so inspired. That is my next upgrade!
Great Video Matt and Jo, very informative and so well explained and presented, well done.
I do love the Scamp, wish I could have one. Wonderful video.
Great video and Jo is adorable.
What a wondeful little dinghy. I would surely loved to have one. Very nice set up and a lovely way of living. Greetings from Norway.
Cheers guys enjoying the tips n ideas well done
Cool. You've answered a bunch of questions and confirmed several of my own ideas about Camping etc. cheers
Scamping?
It's a thing. Just ask me
just bumped into your channel mate, didnt know tasmania was this devlishly beautiful! 'thats not a boat thats a scooner!" haha cheers mate from your cordial and genuine antipodial belgian friend. (yes i am drunk on french wine)
The outtakes are hilarious 😅
Nicely done mate! And Jo's filming excellent!!
Marvellous! 🤩👍🏽😀
Now that was a really well-done Video Matt. Informative a full tour tips and tricks. Scamp kids gonna love this.
Thanks Ross. Appreciate your feedback. Stay Salty! 👍🏾⚓️
I love these boats! Great Design! I am over here with a tippy Sail Kayak!! Thank goodness I have outriggers!!
Just discovered your channel.
Fantastic !
Team work 🤙
Love your boat, keeping laughing 😂
Very interesting thank you.
Loved this adventure, especially the trangia cooking and that little egg toast trick you little monkey, that is a game changer 😂. Greetings from the UK and our little leisure 17 on Ullswater in the lake district.
rowing sofa and anti boat pill ) subbed))
Have you triex a gas conversion on your trangia they are unbeleivable way faster than metho burner and run on a disposable cartridge on a large cartride about $16 i get a week an s a half of drinks n food cooked 2 cups oc boiled water in 2 min but about 120 for the burner but last over 30 years ic looked after
Thanks it was great fun, wish I could find one in a dumpster, although I don't know anyone that rich. (Yet)😎👍
I love this channel, and this video is fantastic! The Scamp is a wonderful boat, for a certain type of person, in certain conditions.
But…
People have turned this boat into an almost mythic status, do anything miracle machine. There are other, less effusive opinions of the design on my channel after having owned one for a year. Link is in the description of the Scamp videos on my channel. Enjoy! 😇
Thanks mate. I've read your 'blog'...interesting thoughts. Stay salty!
I'm so bloody envious struggling to even get a Fekin bow u bolt for my boat I'm renovating, yet I've never seen a sole on your planet and you seam to have everything!! to hand. Do you get everything gifted. 😢 Can you please repeat the type of anchor again as im very interested if i can purchase similar in Scotland. Excuse me pissing myself watching Jo sniggering whilst you were showing us how EASY it was with outboard bracket. Thanks for all the content,it is very informative. Regards Robert
Many thanks. The anchor is made by Cooper (link is in the description below the video). Kind regards from Tassie!
Life is but a dream....!
Nice video. Whilst watching I compared features of your plastic SCAMP with my garage made ply SCAMP. Both very stable. Love your tent design except I have halyards on top of cuddy in jam cleats so your tent wouldn't work on my boat. That said I don't have to bend down to release halyards. Like your cockpit wooden slat setup for a sleeping floor. Might make something similar. Cheers from Trevor sailing Clare (hull#407) on Burley Griffin, ACT.
The most amazing thing about this video (I'm only three and a half minutes in, but I already know this is the most amazing part) is seeing that bracket for the outboard is made in the U.S.A. I suspect I couldn't find anything like that in the USA - 99.99% of products here are of very poor quality and made in China.
Wish the tent design was available for sale!.????
Hi guys love your channel love the scamp beautiful little dingy. These dingys I believe there made in the US are they available in Australia thanks for ant info cheers
Thanks mate. Sea Dog is the only GRP SCAMP in Australia. Contact Gig Harbour Boat Works to discuss importing one.
*hobbit music starts playing*
Also Curious; what size thermarest can you on the scamp with sleeping platform installed ?? Could you use a double sleeping mat 52"x76" ?? LMK. Thx
Very versatile ina boat just under 12 feet.
what I sometimes wonder about boats like these: what if you're like me and absolutely HAAAAATE tillers? 😅
I guess you'll just have to stay onshore then?
Thanks Matt, very informative! Could you tell me the material that the tent is made from? Thanks!
Thank you. I can't remember exactly other than it was the best canvas we could afford.
Really interesting vid, thanks for sharing your tips, your stove if you don’t mind, what make? It looks like a metho type, cheers.
The stove is a Trangia
Great job guys I almost want one.Did you import the boat yourselves?
Hey Bruce. Thank you. We purchased her from the fella that imported her.
Wait, is that a fibreglass Scamp? Where & how did you get that in Tasmania? Great video. Love the boat.
Yes, GRP SCAMP...imported new from the US in 2019.
Great vid, just bought SCAMP #225, believe I'm the fourth owner. Still learning how to rig her properly.
Questions: 1) where do we get those hats? 2) is the wind needle permanently mounted?
Hats are Tasmanian made. The windvane is avaliable from any chandlery.
Hi enjoying your videos' I would like to find out where you got the sock for the anchor chain. Cheers Rick
Google 'anchor chain sock'
Thanks for that.
Love your channel. I nearly finished building my SCAMP. Is the tent your own design, or did you buy it?
Thank you. We designed the tent.
Wonder why you don’t have cringles sewed to that tent and just tie it to the boom to keep its shape.
Because then you couldn’t sail with it up. It wouldn’t be the same shape. And when the boom sways with boat motion it would tear the tent.
@@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx didn’t see that they sailed with it up so that makes sense then.
Another great vid Matt. Where can I buy a scamp? I'm in Tas.
There may be one coming up for sale in Tassie soon.
Just in case ur interested i got my trangia gas con ersion at all goods i use it dailg as i live in a van and it dont freeze up like a fly spray can styld butane canister does gas is at anaconda
Thanks mate. In our next episode we review 7 different stoves and a modular galley box. Stay tuned....
Looking forward to it and its all relevant to my situation as I'm living in a van so size weight n running expenses are all relevant so is availability of gas and stove but I'm not far from u now 35klm away or so
Just remember:
Its important for your relationship to close the bathroom door😅
that was effing funny; having sailed a cape cod frosty (smallest one design racing class) during the canadian winter, i'm good with the pram type hull, and roughing it on the water. currently, however, i'm a wanna be scamper. can you send me any info on that great tent design? is it mossy proof? LMK Thx
We designed the tent from scratch. A talented local canvas cover maker made it for us. Yes, completely mozzie proof once you stuff a sponge in the transom tiller hole.
Where can one purchase such a beautiful little boat. ?
Links in description
Thank you, I did find Gig Harbour website and have emailed them if they ship to Australia sydney, no reply just yet. I was wondering if they had a reseller here in Australia, fully built one, as I'm no good with kits. That's a perfect boat for me and a friend for short overnight trips. Even solo is awesome. Keep the videos coming. :)
@@alexanderdiesta2282 Last I spoke with Katie @ Gig Harbour they were thinking of bringing a container of SCAMPS in. If that fails then there are a few builders offering to build you one in Australia. Jump on the Scamp builders and dreamers FB page and put a request out there for one to be built. Stay Salty!
I used to be in the Swedish Search and Rescue Association and a number of years ago we exchanged all inflatable life wests for Baltic Offshore (I think it's called), stuffed life wests, due to reliability issues.
nice wifey
