The Highlander is a large (20 foot LOA) day sailer designed by Gordon K. (Sandy) Douglass in the early 1950s, and was the last boat built by the Douglass & McLeod company. The Highlander sails with a main, jib and spinnaker. With over 1000 boats built, the Highlander has gained reputation for being stable and secure. There are currently 14 racing fleets of Highlanders mostly located in Indiana and Ohio.
Douglass' Flying Scot is known as the little sister to the Highlander.
