The Flying Scot® is Fast

The late Gordon Douglass is an internationally known racing champion, so he designed the Scot for speed. The Scot is a low-displacement design (she sits shallow in water) and she has a flat, tapered shape in the stern which allows her to plane. This means she will come out of the water and is not limited to her waterline hull-speed. With over 200 square feet of sail area, she has the "engine" to move well in any wind speed. Get her on a beam-reach with 15 knots of wind, and experience the thrill of a planing hull!

The Flying Scot® is Stable and Safe

The Scot is not a flopsy acrobatic design; the photo at left illustrates the Scot's stability. Her slightly tunneled hull design, hard bilges and weighted centerboard provide a strong righting moment. And with over 600 lbs of reserve buoyancy, the Flying Scot® is unsinkable. The wide side deck and seat allow the Scot to take a knock- down with little or no water in the boat, and one person can easily right her in the water.

• Easy to launch. Easy to sail. Easy to keep.
• No advanced sailing experience needed! It can be Launched, Rigged and Sailed by 1 person.
• 5-year limited-warranty on hull, 2 year warranty on rigging. Flying
  Scot Inc. means Service! We know almost all our owners by name,
  and most orders are filled within hours.
• Unsinkable, due to 600 lbs. of installed positive flotation.
• Any Color You Like! - your color choice.
• Built to Last- with glass reinforced poly-resin, with mat and bi-directional roving into hull and deck molds with as many as 6 layers to 70 oz. per yard, reinforced with 1200 balsa-core blocks; 12 cu. ft. of Styrofoam flotation giving 600 lbs reserve buoyancy. Meet the builder, Harry Carpenter, president of Flying Scot®, Inc. and see how we make them!
• Mast and Spars are anodized aluminum, rigging is top-quality stainless steel, all fittings stainless steel. Centerboard has 80 lbs. lead ballast with 16:1 differential winch. The centerboard is set in a unique trunk that does not require the traditional, leak-prone pivot bolt.
• Great Racing! Active fleets nationwide, and strong organization: The Flying Scot® Sailing Association publishes a bi-monthly publication, Scots N' Water. Casual to Expert Racing. This means a ready used-boat market, protecting your investment.
• Shallow draft, great for gunkholing in shallow rivers and lakes. Launches in 12 inches of water!
• Good for the whole family- can seat 8 adults!
• Most cars can pull the entire boat and trailer weight of 1200 lbs.
• The Flying Scot® is a Sailing Hall of Fame Design.
• Over 5800 boats have been made, 1 at a time.
• One-design (original Scots can be as fast as new Scots)
