Designed by Gordon K. Douglass in 1958, this enduring 19-foot centerboard dinghy has become one of America's most popular one-design racing sailboats. With a fractional sloop rig carrying 191 square feet of sail area, the Flying Scot delivers spirited performance while remaining forgiving enough for developing sailors. The boat's fiberglass construction and well-balanced design make it equally suited for club racing, sailing instruction, and recreational day sailing in protected waters. Its 850-pound displacement provides stability without sacrificing responsiveness, while the 4-foot draft centerboard configuration allows exploration of shallow bays and easy launching from ramps. Flying Scot Inc. has maintained consistent production standards since the design's introduction, contributing to the boat's reputation for durability and competitive longevity. The class enjoys active one-design racing fleets across North America, with standardized specifications ensuring fair competition. The boat's comfortable 6.75-foot beam provides adequate space for a small crew while maintaining excellent sailing characteristics. This versatile dinghy excels in coastal and inland waters, offering an ideal platform for sailors seeking competitive racing opportunities or simply enjoying afternoon sails with family and friends.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
