On a packed-eight race day at Act 3 of the Extreme Sailing Series™ in Qingdao, where all the action was broadcast live for the third year running on local broadcaster Qingdao TV, the eight international Extreme 40s competing moved into stadium mode in the heart of Fushan Bay where the battle lines were drawn between Alinghi and The Wave, Muscat. It was a game of cat and mouse as the Swiss and Omani flagged teams hunted each other around the compact racecourse, which at times resulted in a few near misses and protest flags being pulled. Alinghi did well to defend their lead and cling onto a three-point advantage at close of play, and both teams have one eye firmly fixed on each other and the other looking over their shoulders at the rest of the fleet with only 20 points separating positions two to six – the difference of just two races as we head into tomorrow’s penultimate day in China’s Olympic Sailing City.
