In excess of 120,000 people, the biggest crowds the Extreme Sailing Series™ has ever witnessed in its seven-year history, crammed around Cardiff Bay over the four days of the Extreme Sailing Series™ Act 6, Cardiff presented by Land Rover to witness the battle of the Bay first hand. Leigh McMillan’s team were unflappable on the final day, winning three of the seven races and the Omani team will walk away from Wales as champions – and with it regaining an advantage on the overall Series leaderboard. However, despite winning on Welsh waters, McMillan is preparing for the battle for the 2013 Series championship to go all the way to the end of the line: “We're not any more confident after this win, we've got a lot of work on our hands. It's going to be a huge fight all the way to Brazil.”
