Giles Scott – Skandia Team GBR Finn sailor

Giles Scott got his first taste of being the best in 2001 at the age of 14, when he became the youngest ever Topper National Champion. After several Youth Championships learning from those around him, he won a place to represent Great Britain at the ISAF Youth World Championships where he came away with gold in 2005. Giles competes in the Finn Class, trains and races alongside Ben Ainslie, and is one of the rising stars in sailing.

"It has been a dream of mine to compete in and win an Olympic Games from the age of about 11; the chance to make that dream come true in my own country at the London 2012 Olympics is simply an amazing opportunity for me."
Giles Scott
