Extreme Sailing Series Qingdao

Extreme Sailing Series Qingdao, China

Act 3 of the Extreme Sailing Series takes place in the Olympic sailing city of Qingdao in China.  Starting on Thursday 30th April it runs for 4 days finishing on Sunday 3rd May 2015.

The most notorious of all the venues in the extreme sailing series Qingdao can and does throw every kind of weather challenges at the competitors.   Gales, enormous waves, flat calm and there has even been fog.  If the wind is a Northerly it will barrel between the city skyscrapers and bombard the extreme 40’s with gusts that can capsize a boat.

The Race Village will be located at Fushan Bay, which was also the venue of the 2008 Olympic Village.  The boats will race inside the bay from the 1-3 May when the event opens to the general public.  If you want a sneak preview of the sailing action then you can watch the boats race on the 30 April.  The best vantage point for this is from the breakwater which faces the Yellow Sea.
