Day 1-3 – 2012 Paralympic Sailing Events

Its been no vacation for our Paralympic Sailors this weekend. All three fleets have completed a 6 of 11 races already. The event started on Saturday and they now have three days of racing completed with three more to go. 2.4M – Our Gold Medalist for Beijing – Paul Tingley – has shown some flashes of brilliance but has really been having a tough event.
