Established in 1990, the annual Miami Olympic Classes Regatta has offered competition in the classes selected for the Olympic Games. In 2002 the classes selected for the Paralympic Games were added. Listed below are the medalists since 1993. Where racing was not held, the class did not meet the minimum number of boats required by regatta organizers to conduct racing.
From world champions to Olympic medalists, the list of winners at US SAILING’s Rolex Miami OCR is a prestigious “Who’s Who” of Sailing.
