Helsinki, Finland—The International Sailing Federation and Rolex have named U.S. Sailing Team member Paige Railey, of Clearwater, Fla., winner of the 2006 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Award.

Nineteen-year-old Railey has risen to the top of the sport, with wins in a number of major international regattas. In 2005, Railey won the Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship in Korea and the Laser Radial World Championships in Brazil. In 2006, she achieved victories at the French Olympic Sailing Week and at the ISAF World Sailing Games in Austria.

This is the second consecutive year that Railey was nominated for the female ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Award. In the men's category, Mike Sanderson of New Zealand captured the title.

The two winners were each presented with a Rolex timepiece, and a marble and silver World Sailor trophy. ISAF President of Honor King Constantine of Greece and Arnaud Boetsch of Rolex presented the awards at a dinner during the ISAF Annual Conference in Annapolis, Md. More than 400 guests from 45 nations attended the event, including international sailors and prominent personalities from the sailing world.
