The current ISAF Match Racing world number five ranked sailor talks to us about his Extreme 40 baptism of fire and the challenges they face not only this Series, but here on Marina Bay in Singapore for Act 2 as the team eye their first podium position.
Stadium racing offers central spot for Sailing - Yahoo! Sports: "Stadium racing, used in the growing Extreme Sailing series, could well be the future of Olympic sailing, thrusting the sport from the periphery to the center of host cities, director Patrice Clerc told Reuters. Extreme Sailing, in its seventh year, features five-man teams racing in lightweight 40-foot multihull vessels that can reach speeds of 46 MPH in the center of eight cities, with the aim of growing the sport by taking it to the public."
