The Scamp Red Lantern Rally was held at Mystery Bay State Park on Marrowstone Island WA, a half mile from the little waterside town of Nordland. Eleven Scamps participated in this first rally, the largest gathering to date.
This photo shows one of the fiberglass Gig Harbor Boatworks boats being launched at the beginning of the rally.
SCAMP stands for "Small Craft Advisor Magazine Project". The New Zealand designer John Welsford designed the boat for publisher Josh Colvin. www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz/index.html
