Island sailor Leigh McMillan and his team on ‘The Wave, Muscat’ had an exciting and unexpected start to the Extreme 40s first Act of 2014 which was staged in Singapore.
Leigh McMillan’s tactician on board The Wave Muscat, Sarah Ayton, has made a huge impact in the Extreme Sailing Series and has now been awarded the International Sailing Federation Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2015.
The weather was glorious for spectators as well as those competing in the 2-015 Round the Island Race on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who shared their shots with OnTheWight.
While other ocean races are longer, racing 1,800 miles around a coastline notorious for highly changeable weather, tides and currents, puts the race amongst the most difficult to complete, let alone win. It starts from Cowes this Sunday.
Isle of Wight sailor Leigh McMillan and his team on board The Wave, Muscat will be trying to regain the overall lead for the Extreme 40 series and on home (well almost) ground they stand a good chance of succeeding.
