President's Note
Dear fellow sailors,
I want to talk a little about the very prestigious Flying Scot Fleet of the Year award. You may wonder just what it takes to be named Fleet of the Year. The award has been won by many different fleets, both big and small, and from big and small yacht clubs alike. It has long been thought that your fleet has to host a national event to win this award, but the regattas do not have to be national in nature to be scored for this award. Many factors are considered, and most have to do with encouraging membership in the Flying Scot Sailing Association (FSSA) and getting people into Flying Scots.
History-Making Flying Scot #6000 On Display in Chicago
Deep Creek, MD - The 6000th Flying Scot has been built and will be on display at Chicago's Strictly Sail boat show January 26-29 at the Navy Pier. After the show it will be delivered to its new owner, Dan Koules, who requested the number and ordered the boat more than two years ago. Koules sails out of Sheridan Shores Yacht Club in Wilmette, Illinois, where Flying Scots are the most active fleet in club racing.
Tags: Welcome to the New Flying Scot Website/Home Page
It has been almost a year since I took over the FSSA web site editor role from Hank Sykes. In case you have not noticed I have done very little as far as the legacy FSSA Web is concerned. Hank has been very helpful by continuing to maintain the legacy site as needed while I worked on a new web site infrastructure. Hank was the site editor for a long time and I think that he did a great job over the years. When I took over the site I came up with a few goals. Obviously I need to bring as much of the information from the old site over to the new site.
