Used Tempo Sailboats for Sale

The Tempo is a distinctive 15.5-foot (4.72-meter) scow-hulled dinghy, conceived primarily as a high-performance, two-person boat for home builders. Designed by the South African yachtsman and prolific dinghy designer Jack Köper, the Tempo emerged in the early 1960s as an accessible yet spirited sailing craft. While the provided data associates the Tempo with the builder Wegu, the boat's initial concept and widespread adoption were rooted in its design for do-it-yourself construction using readily available plywood sheets. This focus on home-building, coupled with its engaging sailing characteristics, fostered active sailing fleets across various regions, including South Africa, Germany, and Holland.
