30-FT SCAMPI for sale

[Philpott]

In December 2015 Dura Mater was in the Berkeley Marine Center for a bottom job. I watched this pretty little yellow boat roll by on its way to the launch.



Oooh. She was so pretty. So I chatted up her owner, Larry Zedaker, who had just had her hull re-painted, new rigging, engine serviced by my second favorite mechanic, Kurt, added a new Harken furler etc etc. Very nice, and I gave him my boat card.

Today he called me and told me his lovely boat is for sale, and for a particularly good price to any friend of mine.

No, I do not get a commission.

Melody is for sale on Latitude 38, listed for $15,000. Let me know for what Larry sells it to you. I am kind of interested in what my friendship is worth.







This boat was raced to Hanalei Bay in the 1994 Singlehanded Transpacific Yacht Race by Peter Myrner. The elapsed time was 14:18:44:05 corrected time 10:05:12:08.

"The Scampi 30 is a Swedish design that won the World's Half-Tonners twice in the seventies. Easy to single-hand, ST winches, all lines led to cockpit. New standing rigging, Harken furler and deck paint. Yanmar diesel, 10 North sails - spinnakers, Martec prop, autopilot, dodger full instruments and many extras."

I think I've discussed this before, but my aging mind can't remember for sure. Peter kept his boat in Sausalito and sailed the SYC beer cans. I sailed against him in my Newport 30 & crewed with him in YRA and other races. He was a musician, therefore the boat's name. Peter was taken from us much too soon; he was a nice guy and good sailor. It's a nice boat that's been kept up by a succession of caring owners.
