Extreme Sailing Series™ 2016, Act 2, Qingdao, China:
UPDATE: Extreme Sailing Series: "Swiss team Alinghi notched up their first win of the 2016 Extreme Sailing Series™ in a breathtaking final day of racing in Qingdao. Alinghi went into the finale of Act 2 with the narrowest of leads over rivals and Act 1 winners Oman Air, and all to play for as the fleet took to the stadium race course in 8-10 knots of wind, enough for the GC32 catamarans to ‘fly’ on their hydrofoils."

China here we come: The Extreme Sailing Series™ gets ready for Act 2, Qingdao | News: "The fleet of eight, super-fast hydrofoiling GC32 catamarans will take their place on the water in Fushan Bay to commence battle from 29 April – 2 May. With only one Act under their belts on the new GC32s, many of the crews are still learning the ropes on the foiling flying machines. The crews, from 16 nations, are likely to face tricky wind conditions in Qingdao, making the already steep learning curve even steeper."

The action begins on Friday 29 April with a day of open water racing before the teams take to the Stadium on Saturday 30 April. Fans around the globe can watch the racing live online on the official event website at the following times: Sunday 1 May: 1530-1700 GMT+8 Monday 2 May: 1515-1645 GMT+8
