The all-French crew onboard *Groupe Edmond de Rothschild skippered by Pierre Pennec* were on fire today hardly putting a foot wrong with *three wins out of five races* on day 2 of the Extreme Sailing Series at The Wave, Muscat. The Swiss team of Alinghi led by *Tanguy Cariou and helmed by Yann Guichard*, ably supported by the crew of Nils Frei and Yves Detrey, won the first race and were in the top three in the first three races which *secured them second place overall*. Home team, *The Wave, Muscat* struggled to begin with then posted a 2nd, 1st and a 2nd to grab *third place by the end of the day*, nine points ahead of Roman Hagara’s Red Bull Extreme Sailing who were really consistent in their performance today.
