Extreme Sailing Series Sydney December 11-13 2015
the final Act of the 2015 Extreme Sailing Series? global tour returns from the 10-13 December 2015. Act 8, Sydney presented by Land Rover will be fast, competitive and entertaining. As eight international Extreme 40 catamarans battle it out against the breathtaking backdrop of Sydney Harbour, it promises to be a thrill for spectators and competitors alike - a highlight on Sydney's action-packed summer events calendar. Thousands of spectators are expected to line the shore of the world famous Royal Botanic Gardens and Sydney Harbour to watch as the best in the business, including some Australian homegrown talent in Seve Jarvin and the crew on GAC Pindar, go head-to-head on a racecourse set between Garden Island and the Sydney Opera House. "You can't really beat the feeling of racing on home waters," Jarvin said. "I've sailed here since I was six years old with my family so it's exciting to come back with such a high profile fleet and I have no doubt the public will get behind the racing again this year. December in Sydney offers beautiful conditions for racing and the guys can expect a north east sea breeze and lots of sun - it should be perfect." Andy Tourell, Extreme Sailing Series Event Director, is delighted the final of the Series presented by Land Rover, is in Sydney where the prestigious Champions trophy will be decided and awarded. "Racing just metres from the shore in an easy to understand format, it is not just aimed at sailing fans, but to everyone. The race village, within the Royal Botanic Gardens, will provide the prime viewing position and plenty of free entertainment for the whole family." added Tourell. The award-winning global circuit is now in its ninth year, and so far in 2015 has visited Singapore, Muscat (Oman), Qingdao (China), Cardiff (UK), and Hamburg (Germany), with Saint Petersburg (Russia), Istanbul (Turkey), and Sydney (Australia) all to come.
