I thought I would post a few photos of sailing our Flying Scots round the buoys on a windy day with Ryan giving out sail trim pointers and boat handling trips from motorboat. Mast floats were on, and everyone had recently practiced capsize recoveries. My skipper couldn't make it, so I set the buoys and watched and learned while in the boat with him. Winds were 12-15 with gust of 25.

It seems I get an error message that says to contact the administrator that my attachment to a post is full when it isn't. I had a few more to post but it was sure a fun day to be on the water.
Lots of sail area on a Flying Scott and they are tanks. Weird halyard winches, but fun boats in conditions like that. :)
Never capsized in one though, - intentionally or otherwise. How hard are they to right?
Very easy and take on little water. I would post photos but don't seem to be able to.
Here are a couple more photos from the day.
Ryan running the motorboat giving instructions.
