British 470 sailors Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell burst on to the scene at last summer's World Championships where they won a silver medal after only a few days sailing together.

Proving this was no flash in the pan, Luke and Stuart followed up with another silver at Skandia Sail for Gold regatta in Weymouth last September, and now after day one at Miami OCR they lie in silver medal position with scores of 8,2,6 from their first three races.
