US two-person planing dinghy.
The Flying Scot is a 5.79 m (19 ft) two- or three-person centerboard day-racer designed by Gordon K. Douglass in 1957 in the United States and built in fiberglass, one of the earliest production fiberglass classes. It carries a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker, sails with a self-bailing cockpit, and is a strict one-design popular for club and lake racing across North America. The Flying Scot Sailing Association runs the class; it has never been an Olympic class.
