Alinghi wins 2016 Extreme Sailing Series Title

Sponsor of Team Alinghi, HYT hosted press and customers at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron for the final leg of the Extreme Sailing Series 2016 held in Sydney Harbour from 8 to 11 December 2016.

HYT was in Australia for the four-day Extreme Sailing Series Championship and took advantage of the occasion to appoint MAD & Associates as exclusive agent for the brand. Guests got to meet the Alinghi crew, and despite some very strong winds (of up to 35 knots), they also managed some on-board sailing experiences on the super-fast hydro-foiling GC32 catamarans at the Sydney Harbour.

Gregory Dourde commented, ‘fluids are our playground and I can’t think of a better setting than the Extreme Sailing Series in one of the most beautiful harbours in the world to launch HYT in Australia. We met some very passionate collectors over the last few days and great press personalities. We’re looking forward to growing our business here.’

The four days finished on the 11th of December where Alinghi was crowned 2016 Extreme Sailing Series™ champions after an epic final-day shoot-out at the season finale.
