Thoughts on the Flying Scot

Thread starter kito

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-Bird

Sounds 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 Stone

Not 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.

BTW, I wouldn't call the Scot unballasted. 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.

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.

Many years ago, I taught sailing on Flying Scots. Great little boats that just about impossible to turn over.

Flying Scot Used Boat Review

Posted April 4, 2017

flyingscot.jpg

When I speak with sailors and prospective sailors, I am quite often asked what I would recommend as a good “starter boat” for a beginning sailor. I have toyed with the idea of a “ten best” or similar review, but have found there are far too many variables to treat the subject fairly in a limited space. However, if I were to compile a “ten best” list, the Flying Scot would most certainly be included. Among the many reasons I would pick the Flying Scot for such a list is that many who chose her for their first sailboat have found her to be the only boat they ever needed. When one boat can provide a lifetime of sailing enjoyment, it’s a special boat.

Gordon K. “Sandy” Douglas, the dean of U.S. planing dinghy designers, designed the Flying Scot in 1956 after his nearly 40 years of boatbuilding and design experience. Douglas had designed and built the 17-foot Thistle in 1945 and followed that with the 20-foot Highlander class in 1951. The Thistle class met with almost immediate success and remains an active racing class today. Although less successful than the Thistle, the Highlander is a big planing hull design with a relatively high sail area/displacement ratio. Those ratios are 47.6 and 40.8, respectively, and result in an exciting but fairly demanding boat to sail and one that is not very forgiving of beginner’s mistakes.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term, sail area/displacements can be thought of as a sailboat’s horsepower rating. The higher the sail area/displacement, the greater the horsepower relative the weight of the boat. Rather docile daysailers, in the 16- to 20-foot range, would be expected to have a sail area/displacement in the mid-20s, while for high-performance racing dinghies, that number can exceed 70.

In an effort to offer a more manageable family-oriented boat, Douglas designed the Flying Scot with the same 191-square-foot sail area as the Thistle, but she weighs in at 850 pounds, 20 pounds heavier than the Highlander. The resulting sail area/displacement ratio is 34, and to say the combination was a success would be an understatement.

Still in production after more than 50 years, more than 5800 Flying Scots have been built since 1957. Not only Douglas’s most successful design, the Flying Scot remains one of the leading one-design classes in the United States.

In 1957, Douglas, who had been one of the principals of Douglas and McLeod Boatbuilders (later Tartan Marine), formed the Gordon Douglas Boat Co. in Ohio to build his new design but soon moved the operation to Western Maryland. Douglas retired in 1971 and sold the business to longtime employee Eric Ammann who, after 20 years of ownership, again sold the business to one of his longtime employees. In 1991, Harry Carpenter bought all the company assets and renamed the company Flying Scott, Inc. This truly unique succession of ownership has resulted in over 50 years of production without interruption.

Unlike Thistle and Highlander whose early models were built of cold-molded wood, all Flying Scots are fiberglass-constructed. Strict one-design class rules dictate how boats are built. The gelcoat (a pigmented resin) finish coat is first sprayed into the mold followed by hand-laid layers of chopped strand fiberglass mat and woven roving fiberglass cloth. Flying Scots have always been built with a balsa-wood-cored composite of the hull and deck. Woven roving is used on both sides of the balsa in the hull layup.

The hull and deck are joined, in a shoebox fashion, using bolts on 12-inch centers and then additionally joined on the inside with fiberglass cloth and resin. This results in a very strong, stiff hull and deck, albeit relatively heavy. As testimony to the strength of its boats, Flying Scot proudly boasts that hull #1, built in 1957, is still going strong. Class rules prohibit Flying Scots from having auxiliary power, and most have none. For sailors who are not competing, a small gas or electric outboard can be mounted on a transom bracket.

Although the Flying Scot may not cause as many white knuckle moments as Douglas’s Thistle and Highlander models, that is not to say her performance is boring or sluggish. Typically raced by a crew of three with a mainsail, jib and spinnaker, the Flying Scot easily planes when reaching and running in a stiff breeze—there are few sailing experiences more exciting. For daysailing, the Flying Scot easily accommodates a family of five or six. There are active Flying Scot fleets throughout the country, and new owners are likely to find plenty of great sailors willing to welcome new sailors to their ranks and to share their knowledge and experience.

In January 2008, the price of a new Flying Scot, with what the company calls the “Family Package,” was $15,900 and included everything you needed to go sailing plus a galvanized trailer. Used models can be found on websites, sailing club bulletin boards, and classified ads for as little as a few thousand dollars. You may want to refurbish an older model yourself, have Flying Scot do the job for you, or purchase parts from Flying Scot and split the workload. A complete list of available parts and their cost is available on Flying Scot web site at www.flyingscot.com.

Few would argue that many of the best sailors in every aspect of the sport began as dinghy sailors. It would be hard to beat a Flying Scot as the place to start.

Over forty years of sailing and marine construction experience produced the Flying Scot®, a Sailing Hall of Fame design. Its perfect for family trips, single-handed fun, and an excellent racer. And its a good investment. See our Buyer's Checklist and Flying Scot® Specifications below.

We encourage you to call us with any questions at 732-319-7735. Designed by the internationally famous racer Gordon K. "Sandy" Douglass, each Flying Scot® is hand-crafted with the highest quality materials and methods. The first Scot ever built still wins races!

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 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.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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 Ratio

A 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

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A 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 Ratio

A 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

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This 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 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This 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.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

About the Flying Scot

The Flying Scot is a time-tested design that is comfortable and safe as well as fast and great fun to sail. The Flying Scot is one of the few small boats which have been in steady production since 1957. The Flying Scot was inducted into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame in 1998. A look at the entire history of the boat and class starts with the designer, Gordon K. “Sandy” Douglass. In 1939, Sandy pioneered the use of molded plywood hulls for sailboats. The 17’ Thistle was designed in 1945 and was almost an immediate success. It remains an active racing class today. The 20’ Highlander made its debut in 1951. By 1956, Sandy decided the time was appropriate to introduce a new design in the 19 foot field for a planing family-racing boat that had been dominated by the Lightning Class for many years.
