SCAMP Life

A photo gallery of SCAMPing over the years

Warning: If you don’t like SCAMP photos, avert your eyes. I had a note from our new SCAMP kit-seller in Western Australia asking for some photos for their website. This got me to skimming my folders of SCAMP photos, so I thought it might be fun to share a few below. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve lost the provenance of many of them, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have a photo credit or other correction.

Here’s a shot that I believe was from a Red Lantern Rally gathering.

Here’s Howard Rice atop #1 during our initial static capsize testing.

I think this is Dan Phy’s SCAMP called B FRANK on a very sporty day in Cedar Key Florida. As I recall, Howard Rice was aboard with various crews doing some training.

Speaking of legends, here’s my friend Simeon Baldwin at the helm on one of our winter daysails. Below he’s showing off the breakfast he’s whipped up.
