The Flying Scot is a perfect family sailboat. It can also be sailed single-handed. The Scot is stable due to its wide seating and side deck. It can take a strong breeze with little or no water in the boat and the seats are self-draining. The Scot is easy to rig, launch, and sail. The Flying Scot is a safe, unsinkable, and stable sailboat good for day sailing and racing! The Flying Scot is a one-design, 19 feet long overall and its beam is 6 feet 9 inches. The Flying Scot weighs approx. 800 pounds and is easily towed with the included trailer. There are many active racing fleets across the country.
This Scot is hull number 2237. Flying Scot 2237 was built in June of 1972. It was built by Gordon Douglass Boat CO, a preferred builder of Flying Scot sail boats. (Dont let the build year scare you. FS hull #2 is still sailing and racing regularly) Flying Scot Hull #2237 was previously used in a community sailing program. I purchased it a few months ago with the intention of setting up for racing. However, due to physical limitations I am not able to sail as often as I like so I want to sell it so someone else who has the time and energy to clean her up, ger her back on the water, and have a good starter/family sailboat. It is currently rigged for cruising. It is the perfect project boat.
The purchase of this hull includes the following: Hull, Mast, Boom, Centerboard, Rudder and Trailer. The trailer alone is worth more than $1500
Equipment: Includes: Hull #2237 Trailer included Mast & Boom Rudder Centerboard Sold as is.
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
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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)
