The last and double-points race of Act 3 of the Extreme Sailing Series did not hamper the leading position of the Danish 'SAP Extreme Sailing Team' with Adam Minoprio NZL steering. 'Alinghi' as 3rd in the final race could not completely compensate the points lost with the DNF in the 3rd heat. Finishing 4th in the last race, SAP secured her overall win. 'Alinghi' had a good day with two bullets and missed the victory by 3 points only. 'Oman Air' with Phil Robertson NZL followed as 3rd. In the overall Series' rankings after 3 Acts leads 'Alinghi' one point ahead of 'SAP Extreme Sailing Team'.
