The Vessel

Scame is a classic wooden cutter built in 1971 at the renowned Sangermani boat yard in Italy. 

Since 1980, she has been sailing around the world without homeport, making more than three circumnavigations of the globe.  Gracing countless exotic destinations, from the Mediterranean, Greece and the Galapagos to Madagascar, Tahiti and New Caledonia, this timeless 72-foot boat is currently sailing in Southeast Asia.   She is fast and comfortable, her crew friendly and warm.

Scame holds the distinction of being one of the few sailing boats that has been continuously operated.   She is home to sailor Daniel Ballian, his wife Janine, and their 22-year old son, Teiki, who have spent their lives sailing the world aboard Scame.
