iShares Cup teams prepare for Extreme sailing in the city
The penultimate round of the iShares Cup 2009 will be staged on its smallest, trickiest inner-city course when the fifth event of the 2009 Extreme 40 Sailing Series kicks off next week in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 25th-27th September. The six-event European series sees the iShares Cup return to the Dutch capital for the third consecutive year, with nine teams again racing the 40ft long catamarans on Amsterdam's narrow waterways in the IJ-haven.
The ultra-tight racecourse is surrounded by high buildings which create sudden gusty winds, making the Amsterdam venue one of the trickiest on the circuit. But the iShares Cup is all about bringing racing right into the heart of the city, and the Dutch crowds will pack the shore walls to take in the Extreme 40 action, whilst some local residents can even watch from their apartment windows above the sailing area.
