The largest Flying Scot North American Championship (NAC) in history took place on the 50th anniversary of the design yesterday at Fishing Bay Yacht Club (FBYC) in Deltaville VA. From Sunday through Thursday, 119 Flying Scots competed for continental championship honors in 18 races in the Championship, Challenger, Women and Junior Divisions in the Piankatank River mouth and Chesapeake Bay just off Middlesex County, Virginia. This year's event stood in marked contrast to the disastrous 2006 NAC in Marblehead, Massachusetts, struck by a microburst tornadic storm that damaged or destroyed much of the fleet.
