Other than sailing, Scott enjoys music, books, windsurfing, xbox, oh and spending time with his girlfriend Christine…
His worst moment sailing was the mast falling down on Hugo Boss 2000nm from Cape Horn (chain plate failure). His best moment however was rounding Cape Horn at 21 knots under jury rig!
A lover of Thai and Indian food, Scott’s character can be described as dedicated, upbeat and sometimes a little bit of a perfectionist. His star sign is Capricorn.
