The towering masts of the Extreme Sailing Series™ fleet dominated the Cardiff Bay skyline today, as eight Extreme 40s took to the water for one final shake down ahead of Act 6, Cardiff hosted by Cardiff Harbour Festival. Gliding round the Bay under bright skies and tactically demanding light airs, today’s series of short preview races came as a final chance for the circuits new faces and old hands to sharpen their swords and polish up their armor ahead of the battle of Cardiff Bay, kicking off on Friday 23rd August at 1400 BST.
Making their racing debut at one of the highlight events in the Extreme Sailing Series calendar, ChinaSpirit used the day’s practice racing as an opportunity to ‘iron out the final creases’ as the team’s Kiwi skipper Phil Robertson explained: “It was great to get out on the water today ahead of the main event, we’re getting better and better as a team and we’re in a good place going into tomorrow’s racing. We’ve started at the bottom, but we’re ready to work out way up. ChinaSpirit are a brand new Chinese team and we’re thrilled to be here in Cardiff.”
