EXTREME SAILING SERIES TM
The Extreme Sailing Series
has
changed the way sailing is seen with an
unique concept: the ‘stadium racing’
with short-style races, pioneered by
OC Sport the circuit brings the racing
right in front of the spectators and VIP
guests. It is the only truly global sailing
circuit spanning 3 continents and visiting
up to 8 iconic venues per season.
The Series gathers the world’s best
sailors - Olympians, world champions,
record holders and round the world
sailors - racing against each other
on identical high-speed catamarans
capable of speeds over 35 knots per
hour (65 km/h). ‘Flying’ a hull in as
little as 8 knots of breeze (15 kp/h),
the 40-foot long carbon speed machines
require coordination, finesse but
also sheer muscular power from the
crews who battle it out on the water
in up to 10 races a day. The Extreme
Sailing Series
offers a unique hospitality
experience to its guests who can
actually join a professional race crew
and team to sail in the “guest sailor”
position, and experience an adrenalinfuelled
ride of their life, as part of the
crew during racing.
Apart from being the the „Official
Clothing Partner“ of the Extreme Sailing
Series
MARINEPOOL has built
a strong reputation for outstanding
quality, excellent service and quick and
reliable deliveries among the teams
competing in the Series.
These are only a few of the reasons
why no less than 4 out of 8 teams in the
Extreme Sailing Series
, among them
2012 Champions The Wave, Muscat,
are racing in full MARINEPOOL kit.
