Last month my husband had an opportunity sail in a Scamp sailboat on Port Townsend Bay. As a bonus he got to sail with its New Zealand designer John Welsford who was in town to assist with Scamp Camp build #4 at the Northwest Maritime Center. Welsford is shown above in the yellow life jacket. The other sailor is not my husband. My timing was off.
For those of you who’ve followed this blog for a while, the Scamp that my husband is building is moving ahead slowly but surely. She has gotten numerous coats of epoxy, many sandings, and lots of other unglamorous processes that are making her into a boat. Nothing cool or dramatic to show you beyond growing piles of empty resin cans and stuff like that.
Enjoying life… it doesn’t get any better.
What a lovely trip !
Oh what fun – and a nice sailing too. I hope he is enjoying the building of the boat as much as you will enjoy sailing in it.
I know one other person who has built a sailboat. The patience that it requires is mindboggling.
How lovely!
