Extreme Sailing Series Updates
Act 5 of the 2012 Extreme Sailing Series has been moved to the 30th August to 2nd September, a week later than previously announced. The UK round of the 8-venue global circuit will now coincide with the Cardiff Harbour Festival and whilst the Extreme 40 fleet showcase their skills on the water over the three public days, spectators will also be able to take part in the Harbour Festival on shore.
From the Welsh capital to China's city of sailing, Qingdao... At an official signing ceremony last week hosted by Ms Zang Aimin, Vice President of Qingdao Major International Sailing Events Organizing Committee & Executive Vice President of Olympic Sailing City Development Association, Qingdao signed a new host venue agreement for a further 3 years from 2012-2014. Qingdao played host to Act 2 last year for the first time, declaring the event an outstanding media and spectator driven event. In 2012, China's fourth largest manufacturing port and the sailing venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, will again host Act 2 between the 17th to 20th April.
