About the LILL SCAMPI 26
Originally called IW-26, built in Sweden. Also called SCAMPI 26. Last builder: Avaldaplast of Sweden. Designed as IOR 1/4 ton. (2nd place 1972 1/4 ton cup at La Rochelle, France).
Designed by Peter Norlin and built by Arme Batt (NOR)/Solna Marin (SWE) in 1972, the Lill Scampi 26 is a compact, lightweight cruiser with a displacement of 4189.0 lb and a beam of 8.33 ft. With a hull count of ?, this single-year production run represents a specific era of Scandinavian boatbuilding, characterized by its masthead sloop rig and fin keel.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize ease of handling and storage, given its modest LOA of 25.33 ft and light displacement. It is well-suited for single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, responsive day-sailer rather than a heavy offshore passage maker.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.07 and a comfort ratio of 18.19, the Lill Scampi 26 is primarily a coastal cruiser with limited bluewater capability due to its light displacement and relatively narrow beam. Its offshore suitability is constrained by the critical risk of deck core moisture and structural integrity issues common in aging balsa-cored decks.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Swedish Nauticat 26 and the Danish Beneteau First 26, as they share similar dimensions, lightweight construction, and a focus on performance-oriented coastal cruising. These vessels also feature similar masthead sloop rigs and were popular in the early 1970s European market.
