Broker Remarks

The Scampi 30 is one of the classic Half tonner designs. Over 750 were built in total and they have won a great reputation as race winners and for being excellently well built,  easily sailed, and well behaved fast cruisers. The Scampi 30 is roomy, has a deep cockpit and is stiff with good stability Minim 3 has a top race pedigree having great results at club racing and in The Round the Island Race. She has been very well looked after over 30 years of ownership by her current owner.  This Scampi 30 is very neat both her exterior and interior are very clean and. She has been re-engined and has had all her lines led aft.  She has a full suite of sails in overall good condition. She is a classic cruiser-racer that could easily bring home some silverware for her new owner or would make a safe comfortable cruiser for someone who really likes to sail.

Considering Scampi 30 Mk IV

• Thread starter jcp
• Start date 13 Aug 2015
• 13 Aug 2015

Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering buying an Albin Scampi 30 Mk IV. I'm a first-time boat buyer and I've read up as much as I can about the Scampi and buying a used boat in general, but I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give. The boat appears to be in remarkably good condition. It had new engine installed in 2008 which has 35 hours - a Lombardini 20HP, located under the forepeak as per the original design. The rigging hasn't been replaced for some time but looks to be in good condition. One uncertainty I have surrounds the boat's stability and ballast-displacement ratio. As a relatively inexperienced sailer I'd like a boat which feels comfortable - particularly for sailing with friends and family - so I'd like a decent amount of ballast. The boat has a deep fin keel and the owner claims the Ballast-displacement ratio is over 50%. However, other sources online suggest it's 36% ( http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=1049 ). Can anyone shed any more light on this? I'm going to view the boat a second time and will get a survey done next. How well does a Scampi sail and is this an appropriate boat for someone of my experience?

I believe that the Scampi was based on the same hull as the Albin Ballad and this seems to be backed up by these comments: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-reviews/57457-scampi-30-a.html Take some of it with a pinch of salt but is does seem to back up the ballast ratio idea of 30odd percent. If you search for Scampi and Ballad together you will likely get a lot more comparison/information. For you, the Ballad may have been a more suitable boat today but then again you are just as likely to grow into it. With these big masthead rigs you can get rid of a lot of sail very conveniently with your roller genoa, so being overwhelmed is not going to be much of a worry. The position of the engine is superb for weight distribution but not so handy for close quarters work under engine - a bit like having a sail drive. Just a case of taking things steady till you find your feet.

I am sure that the scampi was an early half ton racing boat so will be a fair performer. The flat sides were a necessity due to width restrictions either in building or mooring ( i forget which) I sailed against one many years ago & they certainly sailed well If you can actually find a good one in good nick you will not go far wrong performance wise I had a lombardini 10 hp & it was originally designed as a static generator engine. Good thing about it was that the alternator etc, were from standard car parts So a fiat, lucas unit all fitted & readily available Not sure if yours is the same sort of thing but if so cheaper in that respect i would expect although dealerships not so common as say volvo

That's it. Very similar hulls, both developments of the original Joker.

Just a word of caution. As the others have said, potentially good performer, but perhaps not a beginner's family cruising boat. There are many better designs for that purpose. Given your concern about your own inexperience and wanting to take family and friends, suggest you look for something more sedate to start off with. No particular suggestions, because we all have our favourites, but there is a huge choice of boats in that size/price/age range.  

BabaYaga said: Sorry, but no. There were several "copies" made, based on the original Joker, one of which is the Ballad. But Scampi was not one of them. Click to expand...

As others have said, the Scampi was based upon a very successful IOR "Half Ton" racer from the 70s. Very distinctive appearance due to the bump on the topsides - which was, I believe, trying to tweak around the IOR rules fixed measurement points, to reduce rating. More info on the Scampi here: http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=1049 In its time it was very much a racer cruiser (albeit one with a very good reputation) - so perhaps not an ideal first boat, but no direct experience so can't comment specifically.  

Twister_Ken

It was certainly a hot racing boat in its day. One, Olivia Anne IV (?) was the boat to beat in the JOG series. Not a boat I'd nominate as a sedate family cruiser, though.  

Don't get too concerned about the ballast ratio. It can be misleading when deciding whether to buy. I have never sailed a Scampi but have now looked up a few pics and the spec. She looks a perfectly good boat and if she is fast, so much the better. You will soon learn how best to sail her within your comfort zone. Finally, don't forget that all prices for second hand boats are very negotiable these days and an agreement on price (subject to survey) should be completed before spending money on a survey.

I skippered the Scampi Elad in the NECRA race Hartlepool-IJmuiden 1974, much of the way with a F6 NW so we ran under spinnaker until it wrapped around the masthead as we overtook it surfing down a steep wave-front off the Texel LV. We were 2nd in class and I remember she handled beautifully on all points of sail, both in the race and returning a week later to Whitby, her base, with eight souls aboard - two extra hitching a ride back. Edit: Whoops, just noticed the "MK IV" on posting - not the MK II I experienced. Sorry.

He was probably put off by those who advised that a boat with a bit of performance was unsuitable for a beginner, shame, they sail really well.

You're precisely right. Despite being in great condition and a good offer I was ultimately too sensible to opt for such a lively boat given my relative inexperience. I'm sure it's a great boat though!

Review of Scampi 30 MK IV

Basic specs..

Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats. The boat is equipped with one cabin, 4 berths, a galley, 70.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility. Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.

Scampi 30 MK IV has more than one rig. One option is a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed. Another option is a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Scampi 30 MK IV has been built with different keel alternatives.

Unknown keel type

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated. As the surface of a fin type keel is just a fraction of the total wet surface, the difference between an iron keel and a lead keel can in reality be ignored for cruising yachts.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.70 - 1.80 meter (5.58 - 5.88 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The Scampi 30 MK IV is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

This keel is also made of iron.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.62 - 1.72 meter (5.31 - 5.61 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Scampi 30 MK IV is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar diesel engine at 27 hp (20 kW). Calculated max speed is about 6.9 knots

The transmission is a saildrive.

The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 25.0 liters (6 US gallons, 5 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Scampi 30 MK IV is 2.06, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Scampi 30 MK IV is about 142 kg/cm, alternatively 798 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 142 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 798 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 25m 2 (269 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
