Extreme Sailing series Asia

After calling time on my 49er campaign, i am really pleased to have been asked to get back aboard the bt extreme 40 for the events in Hong Kong and Singapore.
With the Tornado definately removed from the 2012 Olympics, and a disapointing finish at the 49er worlds despite very encouraging results in the lighter airs events, i decided to resign from Olympic campaigning. I had a great ten months learning to sail the 9er, but would need at least another ten to get our boathandling to a level to compete in the olympic fleet. With Olympic selection process already begun and UK sailors already dominating the International fleet it seemed the right time to move on.
Racing in the extreme 40's is a great substitute for Olympic racing so im looking forward to joining up with the guys on tuesday......
