The countdown is on to the Extreme Sailing Series Act 4, Porto and the teams have spent today making final preparations to their Extreme 40s in the technical area at Douro Marina and putting in some last minute training time on the water before proceedings get underway tomorrow (Thursday 5th July). The official Extreme Sailing Series weather partners WetterWelt are predicting glamour sailing conditions for this Portuguese debut with up to 15 knots of breeze and gusts of up to 22 knots forecast for the first two days.
How to follow the Extreme Sailing Series, Porto ONLINE
Racing takes place over four days from the 5-8 July with open water racing each morning followed by stadium style racing each afternoon where the Douro river will provide the playground with the cities of Porto and Gaia providing a historic backdrop. To make the most of the spectacular setting and to showcase the Extreme 40s in Portugal for the first time, the fleet will race in different formats, with fleet racing to match racing, straight line duels and speed trials likely to take place over the four days.

Extreme Sailing Series launch team Social Media chart
To coincide with the start of Act 4, the Extreme Sailing Series has launched a new social media rankings chart for the teams. The ranking is&xnbsp;based on the cumulative number of Facebook ‘likes’ and Twitter ‘followers’ held by each team as well as their crew members, with the objective of creating a fun and easy to use platform which makes it easy for fans to follow their favourite teams in one place. The ranking will evolve throughout the Series expanding beyond the number of likes to reward teams who engage with their fans.
Ernesto Bertarelli’s Swiss team Alinghi are top of the charts for July with the highest number of followers. To view the social media chart and to ‘like’ or ‘follow’ any of the teams, click here http://www.extremesailingseries.com/chart?utm_source=critsend&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mailing-3738.
