Excerpt from the RMOCR Press Release:
Tricky Day at the Races
Things started out slowly this morning at US SAILING’s Rolex Miami OCR when all but one class (Womens Match Racing) was postponed ashore due to light wind that followed morning showers, but the entire fleet of 716 Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls from 53 nations were back in action on Biscayne Bay by afternoon, with sunshine and fresh breezes to improve their day. This is the second stop on the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Sailing World Cup circuit and is considered a major stepping stone on a sailor’s path to securing a berth at the Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Regattas scheduled for Weymouth, England in 2012.
Some very close and exciting racing in the Elliott 6ms. The first flight of the day decided who advanced to which stage for the A Group and saw some fierce battles especially between the teams fighting for the place in the Repechage and a chance to move on.
The Repechage and Gold groups each sailed three flights and the Bronze group sailed 2 matches each. The Silver group did not sail.
