Are you sad that New Zealand the winner of the America's Cup has announced that future racing will be on monohulls? In addition the America's Cup World Series on foiling cats ends, more bad news. Even though all this is sad news indeed, there is good news that foiling cat racing is still alive and well via the Extreme Sailing Series. What is the Extreme Sailing Series? It's like the America's Cup World Series but on smaller cats of 32' with soft sails versus hard wing sails... Plus boats cost about 3 hundred thousand dollars versus millions. To me the Extreme Sailing Series is more realistic to continue for the long term, it's possible for those with smaller bank accounts to compete, and so on.
Check out the Extreme Sailing Series at their website extremesailingseries.com and also on their YouTube channel. I will be regularly posting videos and news on FunToSAIL, so stay tuned!
