Woody Pirie was a member of the family that helped found Carson, Pirie & Scott, the large Chicago department store. He worked as an executive in the store and sailed with the Sheridan Shore YC and the Lake Michigan YC. Pirie’s main interest was ocean racing, but he also had considerable success in smaller boats. After taking the bronze medal at the 1948 Olympics with Owen Torrey as his crew, Pirie went to Portugal, where he won the World Star class title.
