Extreme Sailing Series

November 30 – December 3: The Extreme Sailing Series was founded in 2007, and has been staging high-profile events around the world ever since. The races bring together different categories of sailors – from America’s Cup competitors and their billionaire backers to Olympic heroes and around-the-world soloists – and let them compete on an even playing surface. All participants are required to sail the same boat, a GC32 class catamaran. These 40-foot seagoing missiles are constructed of high-tech carbon fiber, and capable of speeds up to 46 miles per hour across open water. Los Cabos is the final stop on the 2017 tour, the final test of champions. Even more exciting, perhaps, is that the series is also the leading proponent of what is called stadium racing, meaning all the racing action takes place within view of land (or in the case of Cabo San Lucas, Land’s End).
