The Flying Scot is a day sailer for pleasure sailing as well as racing; it is sailed throughout North America. The Flying Scot was designed in 1957 by Gordon K. (Sandy) Douglass who had already designed the Thistle and Highlander. Since then, over 5000 boats have been built, and races are held throughout the year in the USA and Canada by the Flying Scot Association and its local fleets. As a one-design, all Flying Scot boats are built to the same specifications and thus have equal chances in winning a race, no matter when the boat was built. The Flying Scot was introducted in 1998 into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame.
FlyingScot owners responded to this preferred treatment and rewarded the company with an ever increasing demand for replacement parts and almost no bad debts.
When new resins or fiberglass materials were introduced, Eric and Harry would consider their value to the production of the FlyingScot and many have been incorporated over the years so that the construction materials are state of the art while the design remains unchanged.
The ever increasing number of FlyingScots has increased the demand for parts and as the boats age, repair and refurbishing is becoming a larger part of the business.
