We Won!! Alinghi was crowned champions of the 2014 Extreme Sailing Series today after wrapping up a win in the final Act of the series. After a nail biting series of back and forth lead changes between us and The Wave, Muscat, we came on strong at the end of the day, and secured the Act and the Series!

Today was a bit of a snakes and ladders type of day. Although still very shifty and tricky, we managed to find the ladder most of the day, to climb our way up the overall leaderboard to the top spot by the end of racing. Behind us in second is RealTeam, with The Wave, Muscat sitting in third.

The boys got sailing today and managed to crank out 10 races in very tricky and shifty conditions. They sailed extremely well and are sitting in third place on the leaderboard, only 5 points out of first. The Wave, Muscat is on top with RealTeam in second, four points ahead.

Windy! That's how today is summed up. The rain wasn't even that bad most of the time, it was just very windy. And at times, very, very windy. So consequently, that led to racing being cancelled for the day. It is only the third time in the history of the series that racing has been cancelled for a day.
