Paige Railey, finalist for US Sailing's 2018 #ROLEX Yachtswoman of the Year Award 🏆, earned the Silver Medal at the 2018 Laser Radial European Championships and a Bronze Medal at 2018 World Cup Series Hyères. Her comments following Hyères - “The medal race was a bit crazy. I thought I was over the starting line early so I re-started. I just climbed back into it, and instead of getting stressed out about medals I just focused on one moment at a time, kept hiking, and just kept sailing hard.
I decided to campaign for Tokyo 2020 because I’ve achieved almost everything you can achieve in the Radial. The last missing piece is an Olympic Gold Medal. If I can secure that, I think I can walk away saying I’ve done everything you can do in this boat.”
That's wonderful news, Paige. Your FCA friends are with you.
You, my friend, are an a,zing woman! I watched the St. Francis speech you gave last week twice and am amazed at all you’ve accomplished. There is NO ONE who deserves this award more than you! 💖⛵️🥇💖
Congrats Paige Railey!
