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 !

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