The EBC fleet consists of
eight (8) Flying Scots sailboats,
one (1) Cal 25 sailboat
and the EBC IV boat club motor work boat
.
Once students have successfully passed the appropriate sailing courses, and receive their EBC Skipper’s Card, they are eligible to use the club Flying Scott sailboats for personal use.
The boats are maintained by our members and these boats are available for the member’s enjoyment.
Many members enjoy the exhilaration of competitive sail racing among Club members and large area wide regattas with hundreds of competitors.
Enjoy sailing on the Detroit River without the costs of owning your own boat!

EBC Flying Scott Dock Racing Program 2008
The purpose of the Club Racing Program is to promote involvement and encourage participation by the
membership in all aspects of our EBC sailing program. Through the interaction of experienced skippers, the
Novice Program, the Intermediate Program and the Junior Program, the intent is to develop and maintain a
framework to teach, learn, share and enhance each participant’s sailing knowledge and skills, whether it is for
recreational or competitive enjoyment.
Club racing is a program, which centers on the Spring Dock Series for both Flying Scots and Ensigns. In order to
qualify for either of the Dock series, a skipper must have assisted in at least two novice instructional classes
(either in class or on water)
The Flying Scot Dock Series will determine four of the seven skippers that will
advance to the Flying Scot Club Championship. The "Com. Devere Cowles Memorial Series" will determine the
remaining three skippers that will advance to the Flying Scot Championship. The final results of the Spring Dock
Series will be used to determine IFSC Lake Race, Club Championship Race and the Regatta boat assignments -
higher place chooses first.
Skippers from the Novice Instruction Class can compete in the Novice Club
Championship.
For more details, see the Rules and Schedule below:
