The Dixie Sailing Club promotes the Catalina 22, Flying Scot, Laser and MC Scow as the four one-design fleets at the club as well as the open handicap fleet.

Catalina 22


The Catalina 22 is a popular, trailerable sailboat known for its versatility, ease of handling, and suitability for beginners, featuring a distinctive swing keel for shallow water access, comfortable cockpit, and options for cruising or racing, with thousands built since 1969. Key characteristics include its user-friendly design, stability (especially with the fin keel), and ability to be trailered, making it a great entry into sailing.


Flying Scot


The Flying Scot’s high boom, wide side-decks and deep cockpit create an armchair comfort usually reserved for the big keel boats. The Scot’s nimble handling and planing hull, however, provide the close-to-the-water thrill of a small boat. Tiller steering transmits the “feel” of the set, and she can tack on a dime: hallmarks of great racing daysailer.


Laser


The Laser (now ILCA) is a globally popular, simple, single-handed racing dinghy known for its one-design strictness, rewarding skill over equipment, with interchangeable rigs (ILCA 7, Radial, 4.7) for different sailor weights, making it a challenging yet accessible boat for all levels from youth to Olympic sailors. It's famous for its lively performance, robust fiberglass hull, and straightforward aluminum rig with a single mainsail, providing competitive racing for decade


MC Scow


Whether you want to race your Melges MC or just simply enjoy the boat for what it is – a simple singlehanded daysailer that is fast, responsive and stable! The Melges MC has the best of both worlds. Also, because the Melges MC has such a large and deep cockpit you can take another sailor along with you. Twice the fun!
