Paralympic Class Champions Named at 2008 US SAILING Rolex Miami OCR
Racing concluded Friday for three Paralympic classes (SKUD-18, Sonar and 2.4mR) at US SAILING's Rolex Miami OCR in Miami. The world-ranking regatta is hosting 369 sailors from 34 countries, with many of those sailors preparing for the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games in China as members of their national teams. In SKUD-18s, which will debut at the 2008 Paralympic Games, Nick Scandone and Maureen McKinnon-Tucker dominated, winning the regatta's first five races and two of the remaining six. more...
