Rick, I kept my Scot in a wet slip for a few years. Yes. the bow handle and stern rings are good points to secure. I also used the chainplate.
Use direct lines to these points for positioning but use spring lines for most of the expected load.For now please send a note to [email protected] with the updated details. You can do this HERE.
David,
I’ll look into fixing this but using comments in this way is unexpected.
Why didn’t you just alter the event rather than add a comment with the additional information?
GlennJames,
I would check with Harry before lifting the Scot with anything other than the lifting bridle. I suspect neither the bow handle nor the transom rings would safely support the weight. Moreover you need a way to lower the board while the boat is suspended. Not a good idea.
The best way to inspect the centerboard is to remove it. Launch the Scot and when at the dock, lower the board. Attach a loop of wire or rope around the centerboard lifting roller. Unsecure the centerboard wire/hauling line and remove it from the lifting roller. Do not remove the centerboard/well rollers. Use the loop of wire/rope to lift the board out of the well. It’s heavy so have at least one other helper.
Good luck.Here are some location coordinates I’ve accumulated while fixing up some of the regatta locations:

Westhampton Yacht Squadron: 40.798093, -72.699519I had a similar problem with the rudder head on my old Scot, except the screws came out dry. In this case I used screw-in drywall anchors in the holes for the loose screws. They held fine.
All the results of FSSA National Events will be posted on the FSSA Web Site in the “Regatta Results” section HERE.
We hope all event coordinators will post all non-National Flying Scot regatta results also.My Scot has two on both port and starboard.The tape is pretty inexpensive. If you want more, add some. I did this on the foredeck.
