Paige Railey puts on a perfect demonstration of the classic 'win the pin, tack and cross the fleet' strategy. OffshoreRules.com's editor Justin Chisholm said it "was simply mesmerising to watch and all the more impressive given the near sixty boat fleet and the fact that this final start was under a black flag". Such was her advantage soon after the start that she led easily at the top mark and went on to win the race comfortably.
Paige is not only an excellent sailor but very articulate in explaining what she does. SailJuice did a video walk-thru of one of her races at the Laser Radial Europeans in 2009, which she dominated. You can find the video here...
