The fourth and final round of Extreme Sailing Series of Asia kicked off yesterday in The Wave, Muscat. The event, the first of it’s type and caliber in the Sultanate provided novel conditions for the teams to race in. Slower than the Hong Kong and Singapore stages, the practice runs and the first day proved Muscat challenging off the line, and tested the team’s strategies and brains rather than muscle and grip.
The first day, dubbed slow and hard, ended with Team Red Bull leading the score board with two firsts, and two seconds across the four-course lines, tailed by seven points by both China Team and The Wave, Muscat.
The other Omani team, winner of the Singapore, and Hong Kong stages, and current series leader with 121 points, Masirah finished at fifth position. Skipper, Pete Cumming, remains hopeful for today’s (day 2) stage.
The tournmanet is held everyday all-day until the final day on the 5th of February. Do go out and support The Wave and Masirah in the The Wave project.
After the break, current standings and pictures.
Red Bull Extreme Sailing - 22 points
China Team - 15 points
The Wave, Muscat - 15 points
