GILES Scott sealed ISAF World Cup gold in style with a win in the Finn medal decider to bring Britain’s tally to four medals on the final day of racing in Hyeres, France today.

Portland-based Scott’s stablemate Ed Wright also took bronze in the Finn, with silver going to Nick Thompson in the Laser, and bronze to Luke Patience and Elliot Willis in the 470 Men’s class.

World champion Scott already had one foot on the top step of the podium with a near-unassailable 19-point lead heading into the final 10-boat double points race.

But there was no let up from the 27-year-old, as he claimed the final race to amass a 24-point winning margin, and claim one World Cup title which had eluded him.

After a week of shifty conditions on the French Riviera, 15-20 knot winds provided a fantastic platform for the medal races.

“We had some glamour sailing – 18 knots, big waves and good fun,” he said. “It was a nice way to round off a good week, so to come away with a win in the medal race is a perfect end.

“The conditions this week have been tricky and shifty, and it’s been a real test of nerve.

“It’s been really high scoring, so to come away and be the most consistent out there was very rewarding.

“I was beaten here a couple of years ago by Andrew Mills, who’s now retired, so to be able to come here and right that is really nice.

“To win here is a great feeling.”
