Super Scamper (Model 115 or 101)
Description
The 11' Scamper (more precisely known as the Super Scamper, model 115 or similar variants like model 101) by Formex Corporation was a vintage late-1960s to early-1970s board boat / sailing dinghy produced in Indiana. Formex Corp., based in the state (with references to manufacturing and advertising in Indiana newspapers from the era, e.g., Nappanee Advance-News in 1974 highlighting "SUPER SCAMPER SAILBOATS From FORMEX CORPORATION" as fun, family-oriented boats that car-top easily), specialized in lightweight, foam-cored plastic boats and recreational gear during that period. the Formex Super Scamper was an early-era unsinkable board boat similar in concept to the Sunfish, Snark, or other simple, affordable sailing surfboards/dinghies popular for beginners, kids, or casual lake sailing. It was marketed as a "sailboat board sailing" type, often described as a windsurfer-like or board boat where you'd wear a bathing suit and expect to capsize frequently—fun, forgiving, and easy to right.
