Launching Scarab as depicted on the dustjacket of The Picts and the Martyrs (but not in the book)

Scarab is a sailing dinghy commissioned by Captain Flint on behalf of Professor Callum and designed to be as similar as possible to the Amazon, though her sail is red not white. She is thirteen feet long and built for the Ds by Rio boatbuilders in The Picts and the Martyrs. Based on Ransome's own sailing dinghy Coch-y-Bondhu(sp?).

Captain and co-owner: Dick Callum
