Paula Lewin is optimistic her racing form in the latter stages of the Rolex Miami Olympic Regatta will carry over to the US Olympic Sailing Pre-Trials starting tomorrow.

Having pulled off sensational, back-to-back wins in the final two races of the Yngling class in the Rolex competition to place seventh out of 24 last Saturday, the Bermudian is anticipating even better results in the coming three days - and a chance for revenge.

"It's pretty much the same people (who competed in the Rolex regatta) and I think we will be stronger.

"We've been practising and I hope to have a better event," said the 31-year-old, now preparing to compete in Florida, USA.

Lewin, who will again be sailing with her twin sister, Peta, and Carola Cooper as crew, would love to savour success on Biscayne Bay after last week's frustration in which she was called twice for premature starts.

Interestingly, the official who called them for being over the start line early was replaced for the races which Lewin won.

"We got two good starts and we managed to round the windward mark in first place in both races and hold onto the lead.

"The first race was pretty close and the second we by almost two minutes which was good. It felt great. You can't finish any better and it all came together. We weren't over and we got perfect starts.

"We made a few mistakes up the beat . We won those races but the first thing our coach said was `Why did you make that mistake? You could have lost it'. Generally though our tactics were very good and we had a great day," she said, recalling last Saturday's success.However, she admitted a tinge of disappointment when considering that had the penalty calls gone differently, she might have finished higher than seventh.

"The frustrating thing was that, even if we were over (early), there were other boats that we knew were over and were not called (over). When that's happening and they are the people you need to beat, that's tough to swallow.

"But you live and learn. Maybe it's a case of getting to know a little bit more about your race committee and talking to the officials before the regatta starts and finding out their knowledge of calling boats over early. So maybe we learned something with that," noted Lewin.
