In Part 2 of our deep dive with legendary boat designer John Welsford, we go beyond the SCAMP and explore what's next. John shares exciting news about a new 7-meter ocean-going boat currently on his drawing board and introduces us to Scallywag, a design born from sailors dreaming of a SCAMP... with accommodations.

We also hear some incredible stories from the fieldβ€”including Welsford designs voyaging to Tierra del Fuego and playing a part in community building in East Timor. John weighs in on the debate between junk rigs and balanced lug sails, and offers his hopeful perspective on the bright future of small boats and their builders.

If you love design talk, big ideas, and small seaworthy boatsβ€”you won’t want to miss this one.
