The organizers of the Extreme Sailing Series regatta told how they plan to conduct the 2015 season. In particular, the teams competing for the trophy and the venues of the stages were presented to the public.

GAC Pindar, Lino Sonego Team Italia, Oman Air, Red Bull Sailing Team, SAP Extreme Sailing Team, Team Turx, The Wave, Muscat and Gazprom Team Russiawere among the crews racing.

As can be seen, compared to last year, there are some notable teams missing - e.g. Team New Zealand and J. P. Morgan BAR. Apparently, these teams are skipping the regatta to start preparing for «the America's Cup».

The first event of the season will be the Singapore Sea Race from February 5 to 8. Next up will be Muscat (March 11-14) and Qingdao (May 1-4). In July the teams will arrive in Irish Cardiff (July 23-26), and in late August (20-23), a little later than last year, they will go to Russia - to the St. Petersburg stage. After that the round in Istanbul will start (1-4 October) and the season will finish in Australia

(10-13 December).

As a reminder, in the 2014 season Alinghi team took the first place , The Wave, Muscat took the second place, and Realteam by Realstone took the third place.
