Scott
Rowland
has 26 years of experience in sail design and manufacturing.
Scott is also a very talented and keen racing sailor with
over 32 years racing experience and is winner of 8 National
Championships.
Scott
grew up around around competitive sailing, as his parents
are also multiple National Champions. His parents are the
founders of The Sailors' Tailor - manufacturer of 170 One
Design Boat covers, sails, and supplies. With the family
in the boat business, most of Scott's childhood revolved
around sailing and racing. He has been very involved in
the local sailing club and junior sailing programs. He first
started sailing single handed at the age of 8 in an Optimist
Pram. From there he has owned and routinely raced Sunfish,
Laser, Snipe, Y-Flyers, and Highlanders winning numerous
club, local, regional, and National events. Most summer
weekends growing up were spent by Scott grabbing a friend
to crew, the family would double deck 2 boats (Mom and Dad
in 1 and Scott and crew in the other), and they would travel
the midwest hitting as many events as possible.
Since
age 14, Scott spent all his summers working at The Sailors'
Tailor, and after graduating Ohio State in '93, Scott now
works full time as computerized cover designer/cutter, webmaster,
quality control, shipper, and head sail designer/maker.
Around
'95 Scott got into RC racing and decided it would be fun
to use our computer cutters and 3D sail design software
to scale down the winning big boat sail for RC. With already
a huge workload at The Sailors' Tailor, Windjammin Sails
became the after work division. Scott designs and cuts the
RC sails at work, then brings them home to assemble in the
evening in his basement sail loft.
