Cedar Point is the home of Flying Scot Fleet 177, the 2008 Flying Scot fleet of the year.  Our race schedule consists of a Saturday summer series and three Commodore’s Cup Series over the holiday weekends.  The format for Saturday racing ranges from two races on the main CPYC course to Super Saturdays which consist of numerous short races with many mark roundings and multiple starts.

The Flying Scot is a 19ft day sailer designed in 1957 by Gordon K. “Sandy” Douglass.  The Flying Scot is a strong national class that prides itself in family sailing.  Raced by a crew of two or three, many teams are husband/wife or parent/child.  There have been over 5600 boats built, currently new Scots are identically constructed by Flying Scot Inc., and strict class rules prevent changes that could make older boats obsolete.  The class is well known for welcoming new sailors and helping them improve, for its strong friendships and great social events.

In 1998, the Flying Scot was awarded the honor of being included in the American Sailing Hall of Fame.
