Teams
A world-class lineup
In the world of high performance sailing, one global circuit brings the action right to the crowds, and in 2013 the Extreme Sailing Series’ award-winning stadium racing format will see eight world-class teams, including a ‘home nation’ team at each venue, compete in the seventh edition of the Series.
The 2013 Series is to be contested by sailors from all over the globe and a stellar cast of 40 top professional sailors will compete across eight venues including five teams that roll out from 2012. Austria’s double-Olympic Gold medallist Roman Hagara, 2012 Extreme Sailing Series winner and British Olympian Leigh McMillan and twice winner of the America’s Cup Ernesto Bertarelli are just a few of the skippers who will be gracing the roll-call in 2013.
