How the West Was Won. Peter de Savary is a businessman more likely to be quoted in the gossip columns than the financial pages. His was the glittering world of casino ownership and the consuming passion of winning yachting's premier trophy, the America's Cup.

Rory Cellan-Jones meets the man who bought Land's End and hopes to continue to win over the West Country.
