From the 11-14 March, Muscat, Oman hosted Act 2 of the 2015 Extreme Sailing Series™ global tour following the season opener in Singapore. With eight international teams racing off the beautiful shores of the Almouj Golf Club, the spotlight was on home teams The Wave, Muscat and Oman Air to perform, with the pressure on two-times Series champions The Wave, Muscat to regain control and improve on their Act 1 performance. After 29 races, Leigh McMillan and the team rose to the challenge, taking victory on home waters for the third consecutive year - but not after a hard fought battle. "We had to dig deep and we knew it would come down the last race, all we had to do was beat SAP Extreme Sailing Team or they beat us. Everyone on the boat kept pushing hard to make the best of the situation and in the end we got the result, but it wasn't easy." Watch the highlights here.
