Review of Scampi 30
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, 5 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 has more than one rig. One 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.
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.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.52 - 1.62 meter (4.99 - 5.29 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar diesel engine at 12 hp (8 kW). Calculated max speed is about 4.6 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 is 2.07, 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 is about 143 kg/cm, alternatively 803 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 143 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 803 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Sailing statistics
This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 24m 2 (258 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Yamaha 30 / Scampi 30
- Thread starter IORHalfTunner
- Start date Jan 17, 2023
- Brand-Specific Forums
IORHalfTunner
- Can anybody comment on the history of the Yamaha 30? Particularly about the differences between the MkI and MkII.
- Prior to the Yamaha 30, did Yamaha actually produce the Scampi 30 under license? I see this as being more plausible than the current Wikipedia claim that the Scampi 30 "...was built by several companies including the Yamaha Corporation in Japan as the Yamaha 30"
- This listing suggests the licencee angle.
Sailboatdata also writes " The third version of the SCAMPI was built by a number of firms around the world. (In Japan as the YAMAHA-30) ." I agree that the "new" Yamaha 30 is obviously not the same boat as the Scampi 30 as Sailboatdata claims. However, as both the image of the Yamaha 30 manual (shown above) and the photos in the linked article show, one version of the Y30 was clearly a twin to the Scampi 30-3! Which one? My primary question is still: Were there actually three versions of the Yamaha 30 produced?
Hollyberry said: Sailboat Data does give credit to Norlin and contains comments regarding the Y 30 being 'based' on the Scampi... but the Y 30 is a much higher volume boat . The forward engine in the early days was odd, but they changed that during the run. I think a more direct 'descendant' of the Scampi would be the Evetts 31, a short production run built in Vancouver BC. View attachment 212356 Click to expand

Interesting! I didn't realize there was another Y30, but your manual certainly suggests otherwise. A quick search shows a couple 1979 "Yamaha Scampi" examples for sale in Japan, but without any visible branding in the photos. I wonder if it was exclusive to the Japanese domestic market.
Ever since I started to research the Scampi 30 (one of which I now very proudly own), I knew of the Y30. But, something wasn't right with the claim by Sailboatdata that what is now widely known as the Y30 is Yamaha's version of the Scampi 30. To me it was obvious that the boats were completely different from each other. It's only when I dug even deeper and found a couple of Japanese blogs describing the Scampi-looking boats in the posts as Yamaha 30s that I knew that there was something more to this story. As soon as I came across the photo of the manual, all became very clear to me. I doubt that the Japanese Scampis ( the original Y30s ) were allowed to be exported from Japan. Different licencees took care of the other international markets. These included Nautic Saintonge in France and Solna Corp in the US. Perhaps Yamaha decided to have a pure-Yamaha Y30 designed so that they wouldn't be faced by the same export restrictions. It would be nice if someone can fill-in the details of this fascinating history.
Blue Horizon
Indeed, the Scampi 30 as well as the first generation Yamaha 30 (since it's clear now that the latter was merely a re-badged Scampi 30!) has a hard midships chine. It's the most distinguishing feature of this boat. Something else rather unique was Peter Norlin's decision to locate the engine ahead of the mast. It was another one of those infamous "cheats" to take eck out every possible advantage from the IOR rule. This one shortened the waterline when not moving.

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!

The SCAMPI was Peter Norlins first yacht design. It's hard to think of a case where the first effort of any designer achieved similar success. The prototype, (by convention, referred to as the MKI,) trounced the competition at the half ton cup of 1969 (sailed under the RORC handicap rule). After going into production, this […]
