Flying Scot Wednesday is sponsored by Flying Scot Fleet #135.

The format for Wednesdays is very casual racing on a short course followed by snacks in the pavilion. Please email fleet135racing@gmail.com with questions or special requests.
Please RSVP through Wednesday at Noon and check in with Eric for boat assignments at the lake.

Starting at 12:30pm, Flying Scot Skipper Training is for Flying Scot Wednesday and Thistle Thursday sailors who want to take their boat handling skills to the next level. Our most experienced racers and instructors set up a training course and provide coaching from the chase boat and jump in/out of boats upon request. Skippers can recruit their own crew or ask our training coordinator to assign multiple skippers to one boat.
Skipper Training Guide
After a quick whiteboard session in the pavilion, we'll set up a racecourse and we'll race three short races starting at 1:30pm. These will look like regatta races, but RRS 41 will not apply as outside instruction and coaching is permitted from our instructors and fellow racers.
