Extreme Sailing Series


The Extreme Sailing Series was an annual global racing series, organised by OC Sport, which ran from 2007 to 2018.
The series started in 2007 with its main attraction being the stadium racing which puts the race course inside a stadium environment for the ease of spectators' viewing.
Many of the sailors taking part in the series were around-the-world yachtsmen, Olympic medallists, America's Cup sailors, World and European champions and even world record holders.
The series was terminated in 2019 after the event became financially nonviable and OC Sport were unable to secure a management buy-out.
