Flying
Scots Are 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!
Flying
Scots Are 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 bouyancy, 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.
