The Flying Scot is one of North America's leading one-design classes. Designed in 1957 by Gordon K. (Sandy) Douglass, this 19 foot, stable centerboarder is easy-to-sail, forgiving and fun. The large cockpit hold eight, making it ideal for gunkholing and family daysailing, while a crew of two or three can put this popular boat through its paces for tight, tactical racing. Selected for the American Sailing Hall of Fame in 1998, the Flying Scot has been used for many US Sailing events including the Mallory, Adams and Sears Cup Championships.

57 mm carbo mainsheet system
This efficient 3:1 system features an automatic load-sensing Ratchamatic® block mounted to a swivel base that rotates to face the trimmer. The ratchet mechanism can be set to increase holding power in big air or turned down so the mainsheet runs freely when the wind is light.
