upstart Ian Williams (GBR), Williams Sail Racing,
2-1 in the final. It was Gilmour’s 11th career victory
on the World Tour.
Peter Gilmour and crewmembers Rod Dawson, Christian
Scherrer, Kazuhiko Sofuku and Yasuhiro Yaji added
the event title to their previously won World Match
Racing Tour championship and ISAF World Championship

and fourth ISAF championship last month at Match

in conjunction.

Gilmour previously won the ISAF Worlds in 1990,
’97 and ’98.
