This is just a short update… we are crazy busy right now in Mid June. Not only are we working on determining the assembly techniques for Scamp #1 and subsequent Scamps, but it’s also the height of the season for folks looking for Melonseeds, Whitehalls, Jersey Skiffs, yacht tenders, etc. A typical day might involve 20 phone calls, 10 long e mails, a few drop in customers and of course new owners from all over the country coming to pick up their Gig Harbor Craft.
Scamp #1 is almost ready for sea trials. The centerboard is installed, rudder built, pintles designed, hatches in place, basic trim started. All the components for the sail rig are here so it should be complete and ready to step in the boat by late next week.
And now, after months of beating around the bush I’ll come out and say it! Sea trials the week of 6/24!
P.S. We had some special visitors in the shop the other day. Â They had a great time inspecting the build:
Dave’s grandkids inspecting the forepeak “accommodations.”
It’s been fun watching the progress! I check almost every time I’m on line to see if there’s an update. Can’t wait for the in-water pictures. Great job (both of keeping interest alive and getting the work done!)
Very exciting right now, what a wonderful sailboat. I am going to call and reach for my checkbook!

I made the commitment for a new Scamp #0013 named Amazing Grace.
What joy it is when one commits…….No worries, something great to look forward to.
If anyone near Charlotte or neighboring states would like to join me in a sail, just let me know. Call 704.320.0700, I live near Lake Wylie and Lake Norman
Sailing is even more fun, shared.
