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. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Contents

Production

The design was built in four versions by a number of different builders, including Älvdalsplast AB, [8] Shipman Sweden AB and Albin Marine (all in Sweden), Nautic Saintonge [9] in France, Yamaha Corporation in Japan and the Solna Corporation [10] in the US. Production ceased in 1982, with about 1,000 boats of all marks built. [2] [3] [4] [5] [11] [12] [13] [14]

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." [2]

Scampi 30

The Scampi 30 was designed as an IOR Half Ton class boat. [15]

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. [2] [3] [4] [5]

All versions have a draft of 5.41 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel. [2] [3] [4] [5]

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. [2] [5]

All models have hull speeds of 6.42 kn (11.89 km/h). [5]

The Scampi 30 has a PHRF racing handicap of 162 to 192. [16]
