Thoughts on the Flying Scot
I am toying with the idea of selling my C22 and get more of a day sailer that would be easier to tow to different lakes and to setup. My H30 will be ready for the water soon and really don't need a C22 and a H30. I am looking for something fun but stable and can handle at least 4 comfortably. I never been on one but the Flying Scot comes to mind. Looking for comments on this boat as far as how it sails, rigging time, stepping the mast etc. I don't have the details you need, but a 50-something couple I know love theirs. They trailer it whenever they go sailing and take others out with them. A much admired boat design. What I have read is that they are one of the most stable centerboard daysailers around. It take a lot of wind and a huge brain fart to capsize one. It's and older design but I kind of like the big bow area. You can duck in there if caught in a storm. It could probably get by with a small electric trolling motor too. May be a good time to buy one. The GYA (Gulf Yachting Association) has changed it's standard boat from the Scot to the Viper. The GYA is made up of clubs along the Gulf Coast from Houston to Tampa. Many individuals and clubs are now buying Vipers and selling off their Scots. http://www.gya.org/?page_id=13 I imagine the price of a used Scot has dropped precipitously down around here. If nothing else you can use that to leverage to negotiate a better price where you are. Scott T-BirdSounds like a good choice to me and you should have no problem finding one to suit your budget. Only knock I read is that they aren't particularly performance oriented. For stability, comfort and good overall performance, though, it would seem to be hard to beat it. Sandy StoneNot the best boat upwind, but reaching in a breeze they are amazingly fast, and will plane. Mast stepping is pretty much a 2-person job. We recently had a juniors race where a 30-knot squall came through the fleet, and only 1 boat flipped. Just look closely at the execrable dual reel winches for the halyards and see if you can live with that. Take a look at the Rhodes 19. Ballast ratio similar to, half the weight, higher performance, and more cockpit than the C22. The flying Scott (unballasted) requires an attentive crew. Fun Boat. I recommend it. This is a board boat not a keel boat. You have to use your body weight to keep it upright like a Sunfish. Keep in mind it IS a dinghy. A stable dinghy, but a dinghy nonetheless. If you're not careful it will go over. Fast. A world away from say a Hunter 20. kito said: What I have read is that they are one of the most stable centerboard daysailers around.

The centerboard must weigh a couple hundred pounds at least, but it's not hard to raise with the tackle provided. Thanks for all the input so far. The Rhodes 19 and the Boston Whaler look interesting too. I may have to broaden my choices since there are not many Flying Scot's for sale. Lake Norman has a fleet but none for sale. kito said: Thanks for all the input so far. The Rhodes 19 and the Boston Whaler look interesting too.

Click to expand The Scot centerboard has enough weight (maybe 75 lbs) to keep it down and the boat on her lines when the sails are down. But that old style long-footed main rides on a very long boom, like 12 feet. Between the inertia of that boom swinging across, the relatively large mainsail area, no reefing, and no ballast this is nice 60's era dinghy sailboat good for a limited range of conditions. Once the wind pipes up you have your hands full. Our club has a Flying Scot fleet. I sailed on hull #2. Immaculate condition and apparently the same design as new ones. I would consider one but don't have answers to your questions. Just got excited to see that you're considering a boat that is popular at our club. I wonder how many sailors named Scott have named theirs "Flying Scott". Just had to put that out there. I think age influences what you might get. I dont know much about the Scot but I had several Hobie cats (14 and 16) and while they were very hard to get to go over, once they did.. they are not easy to upright. For someone young.. no problem to upright and get going again. For someone older.. could be a big problem. Also, even if you have a float at the end of the mast and can upright the boat after a capsize, its easy for a young person to climb back in, not so easy for an older person.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
