The Extreme Sailing Series is a unique concept, putting some of the very best professional sailing teams in the world against each other on identical Extreme 40 catamarans, on challenging, short yet tactical courses and close to shore to provide spectacular, stadium-style entertainment for the public.
The creators of the Extreme 40 took the biggest, fastest sailing boat in the Olympics — then made it twice as big and even faster. And no, brakes do not come as standard… The concept of Extreme 40 is to bring the sailing to the public and not the other way round. The sailors represent some of the world’s most talented sailors representing 9 different nationalities.
The circuit retains its high sporting integrity whilst delivering an event that is tailor-made for spectators – a concept not normally associated with the sport of sailing!
