| MIAMI, FLA. USA-(28-1-2005) Rolex Miami OCR |
| Miami, Fla. USA - Champions were crowned today in nine
Olympic and two Paralympic classes at US SAILING's 16th annual Rolex Miami

yesterday's leaders at the top of the scoreboard. Laser Radial sailor
Paige Railey (Clearwater, Fla.), one of over 320 sailors from 26 countries
competing on Biscayne Bay for the regatta's 16th edition, had some
business to settle on the water today with Anna Tunnicliffe (Norfolk,
Va.), and a good breeze interspersed with squalls helped her do it. |
