Dickson Racing

Scotty Dickson, originally from New Zealand, has been coach to many of the younger sailors on the circuit and heavily involved in developing match racing in California. Scotty skippered his first Congressional Cup in 1996 and went on to skipper a total of 20 more, representing the Long Beach Yacht Club. In 2019, Scotty and his team made the finals and took home a prestigious silver medal.

 Scotty triumphed in the qualifier event, Ficker Cup, an impressive 14 times. From 2000 through 2007, he owned the event, winning every title except for 2005.

Scotty has been a member of Long Beach Yacht Club since 1995. When not at the helm of his own team, he remains actively engaged in sailing events both locally and worldwide, assuming roles as a coach and commentator.

Strongly suited to bigger boats and teams, Scotty has skippered some of the most iconic big boats in California including Pendragon IV and VI, Foggy II, and Victoria.  Having completed 5 Transpacs, Capetown to Rio, Auckland Noumea, Van Isle 360 and Tour De France races, Scotty also has an extensive international offshore/inshore resume.  Additionally he has appeared at many events as commentator including Bermuda Gold Cup, Auckland, Chicago and St Petersberg Russia.

The real strength of Dickson Racing is the team, which is comprised of Long Beach locals who are each in their own right world class sailors, yet still have a strong connection with their local community.
