This episode is an interview with myself on building the SCAMP micro-cruising sailboat. I started the boat in
June 2013 and completed the assembly of the kit in October 2013. Go to Launch to see a video of launch day
I spent a total of 208 hours building the boat from a kit purchased from Small Craft Advisor Magazine (who is the brainchild for the SCAMP). The cost to build and assemble the kit was $4,137 and I sold the boat recently for $7,200. If you do the math, I earned a little less than $15/hour for my time.
It was a really fun boat to build and I learned a lot. Listen to the podcast and you will hear all the details of the build, lessons learned, pros and cons of the kit and more.
