Download As PDF : A Boat Called Scamp eBook Dick Herman 
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.
A Boat Called Scamp eBook Dick Herman
Many of the chapters in this book were abridged from articles written for Small Craft Advisor magazine. I was hoping to read about John Welsford's motivation & criteria during his work on the SCAMP, the details of design, the 12 foot LOA licensing limit for the state of Washington. This book covers little of that. The author's brief mention of Mr. Welsford is cursory at best, and could easily be confused as hearsay. There was little information about the design and construction of the boat itself other than a handful of photos. I simply tired of reading about the color of person X's eyes, person Y's hair, and the effervescent personalities of both. I just wanted to read about SCAMP, its development on paper and in the shop, and its subsequent sailing trials. There is a plausible account of sailing the SCAMP down a river, with its inherent trials and tribulations. But it lacks details about the actual sailing on the river. I was looking for a clever book similar to Herreshoff's The COMPLEAT CRUISER or John Isaacs' An AEROPLANE AFFAIR. This book reads more like a marketing portfolio of Small Craft Advisor's staff.Product details

A Boat Called Scamp eBook Dick Herman Reviews
Great boat, great book
A good read of how the Scamp came to be and the players that made it happen. Real life stories of skippers and their travels in this craft. Only negative is that it's to short, more scamp stories please! Lol.
You just can not beat Herman when it comes to writing about boats, or the folks who sail them.
Love this boat and met Mike Monies one time. I love the twin stories of the builds and makes me want this boat even more.
Great story outlining the birth of a new family of sailboats. The book highlights the designers and contributors to the creation of a new sailboat. This
Sailboat exhibiting excellent sailing characteristics beyond what is to be expected of such a small craft.
Largely reprints from SCA magazine. It does put it all in one place, so I don't have to try and remember where to find specific information.
Got the impression they were trying to sell me one.
