What
Our Flying Scot Owners Say
Harry, Karen and
the rest of your Team:
I've seen the letters of appreciation before, applauding the
attention to detail and the immaculate workmanship of the new boats, but
let me add mine.
When we unloaded
the 4 new Scots in Dallas last Monday it was
obvious they were each treated with the greatest care in building,
detailing, rigging and preparation for delivery. It still amazes me
that you folks refuse to cut any corners - the 'extras' that are
included, the fine finish that the hull and deck exhibit and the
careful, thorough inclusion of all the parts, even those that you
probably know some of us won't use. It's just part of the package that
includes World-Class treatment of your customers.
When I realize that there was a trailer and suit of sails as well as
other vendor supplied spars, rigging, hardware, etc. included in the
purchase price, I find it incredible that the boat can still out shine
any other class boat in quality of construction and consistency in
measurement.
I hope you understand how proud we are of our new boats and the
people who care so much about them to deliver such beauties. My 'all
white on white on white' glistens like a star and sails like a dream.
Thanks for all you continue to do for us,
- Richard Wade

I purchased FS 1653 in June 1999, rechristening her "Dragonfly"...My wife and I have found her to be a most wonderful boat. I have been able to keep up with a J24 crossing Lake Champlain. We have slept on Dragonfly, we have taken her to islands where we camped for the night and we daysailed her with 4 adults and 3 kids. The cockpit is roomier than our (previous boat) Pearson 30. We feel we have not stepped down from our Pearson 30, just simplified things alot.

I have owned Scots for 23 years (#269, #2564,a dn #4291). I have cruised but now I mostly race. I purchased a Scot because it looks good, it's fast, comfortable and I can walk around in it. Its also the best fleet for racing and fun at Corinthian Sailing Club in Dallas.

I have owned a Flying Scot for 10 years and I purchased it because of the simplicity, cockpit, Class Organization and because of "Sandy Douglass."
I would recommend the Flying Scot to others for the above reasons plus the low maintenance and good resale.

The reasons we like the boat are because it is great for family, has stability, and quality workmanship...We now have the stern ladder and swim off the boat whenever possible. We love that ladder.

Fleet 161, NY Lake District
Reasons I like the
boat: All the usual ones, fun, fast, forgiving, true one-design, affordable..
but the main reason is the people who sail them..I've made lifelong friends...

We have owned a Scot
for 10 years. Before that we had a Laser 2 that we were not built for.
We had seen a Scot on Saratoga Lake and a friend of ours took us out in
it. We were immediately hooked! No black and blue marks! Since buying
a Scot and joining the (Flying Scot Sailing Association) we feel like
we have an extended family. We go all over the country to regattas and
renew friendships with other FS sailors.

I became a confirmed Scotter 29 years ago when my neighbors on Candlewood Lake took me for a sail. The boat was easy to sail, the Class Association was strong, and it's a great day sailor and racer.
