Olympic champions Yves Loday and Mitch Booth have added to the spectacle of sailing by designing the Extreme 40. They've done everything they could to bring the excitement of the race to not only the competitors, but the spectators as well. The multihull «takes off» even in a light breeze, and strong winds and the actions of competitors lead to spectacular accidents. In 15 knots of wind, the Extreme 40 is capable of speeds in excess of 25 knots.

The seventh season of the Extreme 40 takes place in Qingdao, China.
