HOWB 040 – Josh Colvin: SCAMP brainchild, Editor Small Craft Advisor Magazine, Sailor, Wooden boater - Interview - 06.21.12
This week’s show is an interview with Josh Colvin, editor of Small Craft Advisor Magazine. I met Josh in Port
Townsend during the Pocket Yacht Palooza, and had a blast throwing questions at him left and right.
Josh has been boating since he was a kid, and grew to love sailing early in life. As a young adult, he would sail
with his Uncle and others on larger sailboats and was having fun doing it. But there was something about small
boats that intrigued him and drew his attention away from larger craft – the simplicity, lower cost and
maintenance, ease of use, and on and on. Soon he realized there were no decent periodicals for the small craft
enthusiast. So Josh, along with co-editor/publisher Craig Wagner, birthed Small Craft Advisor Magazine in
1999.
About 3 years ago, Josh presented a boatload of his own small craft ideas to John Welsford, small boat designer,
to see if John could take all those ideas and put them into one micro cruising SUPER sailboat. The result is
SCAMP (Small Craft Advisor Magazine Project). This is one amazing boat! 11ʹ 11ʺ length, 5ʹ 4ʺ beam, pram
bow, water ballast, 7ʺ draft (you read it right – seven inches), offset centerboard for roomy cockpit, sleeps 2,
multiple water tight compartments, beautiful looks, 420 pounds total, seaworthy, the list goes on and on and on.
So much boat in such a small package – nice job Josh! Josh describes the SCAMP project in detail during the
interview.
