Stanton nearly perfect in winning Sunfish Open, earns spot in 2024 Sunfish Worlds

CHRISTIANSTED — Scott Stanton used his experience from years sailing in Teague Bay to pay off in a big way over the weekend, as he won the St. Croix Yacht Club’s Sunfish/ILCA Open regatta on Sunday.

Stanton won nine out of 10 races over the two-day regatta — and finished second in that one race he didn’t win — to finish with a total score of nine points, far ahead of runner-up Beecher Higby III in the 15-boat field.

“I’ve been sailing since I was ten years old — I’ve been sailing on this bay since I was ten years old,” Stanton said. “Most of the races I was able to win by quite a bit just because I was able to connect the dots and I’ve seen it before. I took everything I knew and put it out on the course,and it helped me excel.
