A Home Team Win

ByThe Rigging Company March 27, 2014

Just 5 days ago the Extreme Sailing Series finished up ACT 2 in Muscat, Oman. Leigh McMillan and the top notch team aboard The Wave Muscat came out victorious once again. The home snuck into the lead position just in front of Americas Cup skipper Dean Barker of Team Emirates New Zealand. The last spot on…

Team Groupama Dismasted!

ByThe Rigging Company February 26, 2014February 26, 2014

In typical Extreme Sailing Series fashion, Act 1 kicks off with no shortage of collisions and wipeouts. The race took place in Singapore Harbor last weekend. Day 3 delivered possibly one of the event’s most dramatic moments in its eight-year history. The home Team Aberdeen Singapore caught a huge gust near the finish line and plowed…

ByThe Rigging Company October 17, 2013

Despite the Americas Cup action being over, the Extreme 40’s, the fleet that started all of this ‘huff-luff’, is still at it. These cats may not have fixed wings or hydrofoils for that matter, but there is always a consistently good turnout and some high speed sailing to be had. Check out some highlights of…

Extreme 40’s Hit Brazil

ByThe Rigging Company December 10, 2012December 10, 2012

These are the highlights from act 8 in beautiful Rio De Janeiro. Torben Grael, skipper of Team Brasil and home town hero could not make it happen. Leigh Mcmillan of The Wave Muskat takes the double and probably has the best finishes for 2012. Great job, Team Muscat! I can’t wait to catch the action next year in Oman……….

ByThe Rigging Company May 11, 2012

Although everyone is awestruck with mystique of the now famous winged AC 45’s, one shouldn’t forget what might have started all of this stadium sailing obsession, and that is the Extreme 40. Take a few minutes and catch up on what has been happening with these high speed catamarans.

Extreme 40’s Start Back Up…….

ByThe Rigging Company March 5, 2012March 9, 2012

………and it appears the racing action is going to be tight a-top the leader board. In a light air battle, winning the start on the correct end of the line seems to pay a huge roll in such a short course. Enjoy Team Oman Air’s celebration as they stay in contention with only 3 of…

Ainslie’s Return

ByThe Rigging Company January 17, 2012January 16, 2012

Let us not forget the Extreme 40’s which are almost considered the dinosaurs of stadium racing compared to the winged AC45. They still pack a punch when it comes high speed, adrenaline pumping action. And let’s not forget sailings very own Tiger Woods. Ben Ainslie returns to professional sailing in Singapore leaving the past (Perth)…
