As you can tell by our blog category, “Helpful Hints,” we’ve been passionate about teaching the sport of sailing for a long time. While we’re sometimes too busy to post, we’re currently making a push in an effort to get as much information as we can out there to you. We sometimes slam blogs […]

RSS feed for this sectionWe do love getting to deliver boats. It allows us to sail on waters we would never otherwise sail on, and it’s always an adventure.
From South to North with Annapolis next
Do you realize the wealth of adventure that Flying Scot sailing has to offer. I realize this as I travel through Northern Michigan, enjoying the fall color and vistas overlooking the lake, only a week after lobster diving in Miami, before the Miami regatta. The Miami regatta was a blast, with big winds, and plenty […]
The Sailing Vocabulary that you need the most.
As I talk to new sailors, instructing them on how to use their new boats, or future new boats. I get one comment repeatedly… “I don’t know the vocabulary.” Some people feel that’s important. I for one, being self-taught, did not know sailing vocabulary for many years after learning to sail. Let alone the racing […]
Sailing in Different Places
It’s been a busy spring, and it continues to be busy for a number of reasons. Still, I have a picture and a short story to tell, so I’m going to hammer a blog post through. I enjoy all of our deliveries. One of our many blessings is the customers that we get to serve. […]
Spring Boat Prep
It’s almost time! We are ready to move from winter to spring here in the Appalachian Mountains. The snow has melted and the buds are starting to peek out from under the covers after their winter sleep. The robins are hopping around the yard and even though my children and pets remain resistant, the arrival […]
The difference between top 5 (us in Tampa) and top 2
What an adventure! What a weekend! I wanted to go sailing in Tampa, and Carrie (my wife) couldn’t make it, so I took the opportunity to invite an old friend to join in on the fun. RJ and I had not seen each other in ten years, but it was like no time had passed […]
Michigan Sailing
For the record, I started writing this post in late summer, and it’s now December 16th. Don’t ask me what happened to December 13th, 14th or 15th, let alone the last 3 months. If you are reading this, then please let us know your thoughts on our blog via commenting. We will write more blogs […]
Mid Summer Post
To go back to where we left off. We made it back from Lake Eustis last winter and on to Mid-Winters. Mid-Winters in Sarasota is like sailing in the tropics. It’s winter, so it’s not too hot and the water is blue. We raise our boards to sail over the sand bar to and from […]
Maiden Voyage
Florida remains one of our hottest markets, pun intended. The Double Deck Trailer made her maiden voyage in mid February. Two new boats were delivered. Everyone was happy with their new boat, and Tyler got to sail one of the old boats that the factory is taking in on trade. He did not have time […]
The Tea Party
Thanks to Boston Sails for donating this tea party trophy, probably back in 1960. Carrie and I won it last year and Bill and I won it this year, despite our best efforts. We were winning the regatta several times in the last race. Let me start from the beginning. Leaving home was bitter sweet […]
