I am still looking for a better guide to racing my Scot. Does anyone know of something other than the builders or some of the sail makers guides? 
Also, doe the Scot have a polar available?
thank you,

Greg Fisher Sailing is an excellent book about Scots.

This book is awesome and will get you moving faster in a Scot than any diagrams or calculation.  Keep in mind that every Scot has the same polars, and the nut on the tiller is largely the determining factor.
