Olympic and Paralympic Hopefuls Stake Their Claims
The 2006 edition of US SAILING's Rolex Miami OCR shaped up as the
biggest in a decade, with 610 sailors representing 40 countries and
competing aboard 406 boats. In the event’s 17-year history, it has been
bigger only twice, and that was in the year of and prior to the
"home-court" 1996 Olympic Games in Savannah, Georgia. A one-design
winter circuit organized by US SAILING with different Olympic class
organizations surely contributed to the large turnout; however, the
regatta has long held its own as a significant step in preparing
athletes--both from this country and abroad--in the sailing classes
chosen for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. US SAILING's Rolex Miami
OCR kicked off with opening ceremonies on Sunday, January 22 and hosted
five subsequent days of racing through January 27, when gold, silver and
bronze medals were awarded.
