Scott won it last year and we thought, ok, that’s a pretty good effort from someone who spends most of his life over a computer designing rigs for the world’s fastest boats. Then he won again this year, at a windy and enormous regatta in the chilly tides of the English Channel to defend his title as Laser Masters World Champion. For years Scott had raced J/24s in the famous Newport J/24 fleet and included his family as part of the crew, notably Kim Brown-Ferguson and their two lovely daughters.
