Scampi 30

The Scampi 30 is a family of Swedish sailboats that was designed by Peter Norlin as an International Offshore Rule (IOR) Half Ton class cruiser-racer and first built in 1970. The design was Norlin's first and proved to be both a sail racing and commercial success.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Production

The design was built in four versions by a number of different builders, including Albin Yachts Shipman Sweden AB and Alvdalen in Sweden, but it is now out of production. About 1,000 boats of all marks were built.[1][2][3][4][7][8][9][10]

Sailboatdata.com notes, "the Scampi was Peter Norlin's first yacht design. It's hard to think of a case where the first effort of any designer achieved similar success."[1]

Scampi 30

The Scampi 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. All versions have masthead sloop rigs with aluminum spars, deck-stepped masts, wire standing rigging and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hulls all have raked stems; raised counter, reverse transoms; skeg-mounted rudders controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keels. All models displace 7,275 lb (3,300 kg) and carry 2,778 lb (1,260 kg) of ballast.[1][2][3][4]

All versions have a draft of 5.41 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel.[1][2][3][4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a three-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][4]

The all models have hull speeds of 6.42 kn (11.89 km/h).[4]
