Extreme Sailing

 Action-packed racing, some of the fastest sailing boats in the world and the biggest names in the sport combine in the Extreme Sailing Series – an adrenalin fuelled global sporting event. The 2014 series consists of 11 international sailing syndicates from eight different countries competing in eight regattas. Each regatta will deliver a mix of one day of open-water competition and three days of stadium racing on short courses right in front of the public, including fleet and group racing, match racing, straight line duels and speed trials. Sailing the spectacular multihulls at speeds of up to 56kph is a stellar cast of top professional sailors, who between them boast 21 Olympic campaigns, 36 America’s Cup campaigns, seven circumnavigations of the globe and 47 World Championship wins. But they’ll still need all their skill and muscular power to win.
