This underlines our belief in OC Sport’s excellent work and that the Extreme Sailing Series is the best series in the world.

“It has the global reach we are looking for,” he added, “with venues in iconic cities from Muscat to Rio. The VIP experience is second to none. And it has a viable business model that also works for Marinepool on all levels.”
Marinepool is also the official clothing partner of Oman Sail, which provided the winning entry in the 2012 Extreme Sailing Serie.
