Interesting historical footage of Tomales Bay back in the day. The Flying Scot is still sailing there more than 6 decades later. Still a great boat too.
Nice to see the use of the tabernacle for safe raising and stepping (and lowering) the mast. Useful today if in a pinch. Plus it's a fun vintage video. Sandy Douglass = genius !
I just sailed a Flying Scot with sail # 1801. The boat is old but still sails . The main halyard needs to be replaced. It is frayed, crimped, and hard to winch. Any suggestions?
Too funny. Dude wore a Scottish Glengarry cap and drove a French Citroen. Sure he was mixin' styles but he was obviously thinking outside the box on many levels !

Some neat old movies around what I assume is Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. Acutally some open space on the shoreline, not like what you see today.

I love my 1957
I love my 1958, #82!

Awesome!
Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome video. Two questions. What kind of car was towing the Scot? And where can I get a hat like Sandy was wearing?

@@charlesht1 Thanks! It was the only car that made you feel seasick because of the suspension!
