Tow FS that has front floatation pillow and transom washer

Great video. Helpful to know that even a single transom inspection port is sufficient to (eventually) drain a Scot. Obviously, 2 would be faster. But at a certain point, bailing will still be necessary as the ports are not all the way at the floor. That said, minimizing bailing keeps one’s energy levels higher. I do wonder, though, and have heard accounts that with high winds and rollers, it becomes very challenging / impossible to get the Scot moving under control. but there’s comfort in that the boat will not sink.

Impressed that the video begins with a swamped Scot. When our club’s Scots are -occasionally- knocked down by Jets vortices alongside National Airport, the coamings and benches block almost all water entry, and the boats come up with only a few gallons of the Potomac in them. In the event of swamping, even with the inspection port, bailing out looks exhausting-and this was designed as a family boat. Congrats, though, on beautiful boat and fit crew.

That has also been my experience Never got a knockdown in a Scot with the spinnies 420 and FJ if you are not careful

This is the silliest design for draining a sailboat. If the water is cold at all, you're up a creek. Then there's the weird wire halyard with a special tool that everyone loses. Without the tool, you can't drop the mainsail. If you retrofit the halyard for ease of use (and safety), it's not class legal.

I think you should tow a dinghy by the mast.

Had same problem recently.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqeZYaishMycpMU I would fill the inside with empty plastic bottles. And make bigger drains.
