How did you decide on the water level divide, between the blue and white. She is looking great.

Hi David,

It's an educated guess based on DWL. The blue bottom color comes up 2" over the DWL. Apparently SCAMP will need to displace 955 lbs to sit on her DWL. A couple of people, gear and the 173 pounds of water ballast.

Best,
Josh

Shots of SCAMP from today. First coat of paint on deck and cabin. One closeup of the brilliant detailing on the hollow spruce mast. Lead is in place on the centerboard. Rudder and stock getting paint. Lots of expert craftspeople to thank, but I'll do that more formally later.

Thanks to Simeon for the photos.—Eds

in the picture the cabin-top and deck show a nice contrast-color. is that really a contrast color or just reflection and workshop lighting?

are the spars going to remain unpainted so one can see the wonderful looking wood?

Well I gotta say, that little sucker sure looks great. I'm eating some of my words here but I have enjoyed seeing the build happen online. I expect the next year will put Scamps all over the waterways.Zignman

Those Vetus ports look great. How did they work out for you?
