Flying Scot 19′

The common sense rigging and convenient cockpit layout makes sailing a breeze. You do not have to be an athlete to sail a Flying Scot. Easily handled by two people, yet large enough for a crowd of six to eight. It’s big enough to be fast and safe on big water, yet small enough to be towed by a small car. It can also be rigged, launched and sailed by one person. It is the ultimate family boat for daysailing. The large, dry, center cockpit, and generous storage space make it perfect for exploring that new lake or coastal shoreline. Positive flotation makes the Scot unsinkable, and there is almost nothing to break or wear out.

Great stability. Surprisingly quick for it’s size. Planes out nicely with the centerboard halfway on a reach. – RICK

The Boat That Stays With You

• How-To Guide

Here we offer some advice and directions on various topics.

Need help with sailing and boat terminology? See the Glossary that we have put together. Also, please keep in mind that boats bought at the factory come with a free sailing demonstration. New boats come with a free demonstration whether they are bought at the factory or delivered from the factory. Used boats only come with a 2 hour rigging demonstration if picked up at the factory. 

How to rig a Flying Scot - A complete illustrated guide.

If you are interested in the fore-stay measurement tuning method, which only works on Flying Scot Inc manufactured boats and for tight or snug rig sails. Here are the steps, fore-stay measurement tuning method .

How to Sail a Flying Scot Fast... This Mad Sails Tuning Guide gives great insight into not only tuning the boat, but also sailing the boat fast. The tips here are important to know if you race the boat. We suggest practicing the sailing tips, before the mast tuning. A day spent sailing is always far more valuable than a day working on the boat. You can also check out the North Sails Tuning Guide . Finally, if you need a loos gauge for tuning or new sails , please feel free to call or order on our store .

Instructions: Most of our kits include instructions. If you have ordered a kit but did not receive adequate instruction, please call or email us for more information. If you are looking for our stand alone instructions, we are happy to email them if you contact us. However, buying the complete kit insures that you have the right length fasteners and the right parts. Using the wrong screw in the wrong place can be catastrophic if it breaks the barrier into the core. Not to mention you will be sure that everything is there when you buy the parts and kits from us. We are a one stop shop and you don't even have to leave home. Better yet, you don't even have to leave the sailing club. We appreciate your business. Thank you!

General Instructions: We do have some of our general instructions online below. However, many of our kit instructions only come with the kits, but are available by calling the factory.

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)
