ATHENS, Greece – Tom Brown of Northwest Harbor will be seeking a gold medal for the U.S. in the one-person keelboat 2.4-meter class when the 2004 Paralympic Games sailing competition begins Saturday at the Agios Kosmas Sailing Centre.

The unpredictable winds swirling around the Saronic Gulf venue maybe the equalizer in an event that relies on skill, experience, timing and a bit of luck.

“The wind is tricky,” said Brown the 2.4-meter bronze medalist at the 2000 Paralympic Games.

Brown earned a second-place finish in 2001 in the World Disabled Championship and a third the next year.

The Paralympic sailing competition consists of nine races in each class.
