Programme 6: Extreme Sailing Series™ Act 8 Florianópolis, presented by Land Rover

  • 10 years ago
Programme 6 of the official TV series is brought to you from the final Act of the 2013 Extreme Sailing Series™ in Florianópolis - the beating heart of South Brazil, a nation with the world's eyes on it, as it prepares to host not only the 2014 Football World Cup but also the 2016 Olympic Games.

On the water the stakes are high. This is the combination of all the teams efforts over the last nine months of global touring, and four have the potential to reach the overall Series podium. They are all hungry for the win and the pressure is extreme; any mistakes will be punished hard.

The Wave, Muscat are the defending champions. But becoming the first team to secure two consecutive Series wins will be far from easy and the Swiss team Alinghi have been a constant threat all year. Every point gained will help keep their title hopes alive, but only one team will be adding the silverware to their mantelpiece after four days of Stadium Racing. Double Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson brings you all the action from a down to the wire final Act of the 2013 Extreme Sailing Series.
