Scott Hardy grew up all over the world as the son of corporate gypsies, eventually settling in Connecticut. He bought the Boat Locker in August of 1984 after working there off and on as a teenager and has owned it since.
He’s been instrumental in the growth of dinghy sailing in New England and the United States, and is affectionately referred to as the “Dinghy King”. Scott was the first to champion the RS Feva in the United States resulting in the explosion of that class on Long Island Sound and beyond.
Scott now lives in Westport, Connecticut with his wife, Mary Ann, and dog, Bosun, and is a recreational pilot in his rare free time away from the Boat Locker.
