Giles Scott (GBR), the 2011 world champion, secured a last minute victory in the Finn class as the Sailing World Cup Miami came to a close on Saturday with the medal race. Trailing by nine points going into the final double scoring medal race, he had a lot to do, but a second place, compared to an eighth place for overnight leader Oliver Tweddell (AUS) was just enough to win the gold here for a second time, after previously winning in 2011. Tweddell had to settle for the silver, while current world champion Jorge Zarif (BRA) repeated his result of last year to take the bronze.
