A Douglass design in the early 50's, the Highlander was the last boat built by the Douglass & McLeod company. Soon after, Sandy Douglass designed the fiberglass Flying Scot.
These days, yacht racing and dinghy racing are common participant sports around the developed world, particularly where favourable wind conditions and access to reasonably sized bodies of water are available.
Dinghy races are conducted on sheltered water on smaller craft, usually designed for crews of between one and three people.
Dinghy designs vary from small, stable, and slow craft for novice sailors to lightweight, high-speed designs that are very difficult for even experienced crews to sail safely and effectively.
The Highlander is a large (20 foot LOA) day sailer designed by Gordon K. "Sandy" Douglass in the early 1950s, and was the last boat built by the Douglass and McLeod company.
The Highlander sails with a main, jib and spinnaker.
Douglass' Flying Scot is known as the little sister to the Highlander.
