| Scott and Dan after a breezy session on Narragansett Bay |
Preparation, preparation, preparation. I am constantly
amazed at the work ethic and the training that Scott puts into everything that he
does. When most of us are so beat at the end of a workday and have every
possible excuse to grab that beer or call it quits for a quick power nap on the
couch, there is Scott wheeling his boat down the hill for a quick session. Last
week I was yelling out to him that we were due to be at a dinner party in one
hour and what was he doing suiting up to go sailing? He smiled and said, ‘Just
going out for 20 tacks and 20 gybes.’
The "Master" division (age 45-54) at the Worlds is once again the largest fleet and in fact, this will be the largest fleet ever with 119 competitors, not to mention that there will be six past world champions in that fleet as well!

Part of Scott's preparation is finding strong training partners
and one of his favorites is Dan Neri of North Sails (seen above) They both share a love of road
biking and Laser sailing and often cross train together. Unfortunately Dan will
not be at the Worlds but I know that there will be constant banter back and
forth via email.
For me, I will not be sailing but rather brushing up on my
high school French, which started with how to pronounce “Hyères”
