About the Sponsor

Backed by the Sultanate of Oman as part of a larger sailing programme to re-ignite the country’s maritime heritage, Oman Sail Masirah made a very convincing debut in their first year of Extreme 40 racing in 2008. They dominated the circuit in 2009, winning four out of the six events and taking the top spot on the podium, as well as first place in the inaugural Extreme Sailing Series Asia. The crew has been extensively training this winter with local recruits, spending many hours on the water to come back stronger than ever for 2010.

About the Skipper

Loïck Peyron is arguably France’s most experienced multihull sailor. A legend in his own right, he has bettered Eric Tabarly’s score by winning the Ostra / Artemis Transat 3 times! He also has been a driving force behind the evolution of modern racing multis, and stepped on the podium last year for his first Extreme Sailing Series season.

About the Team

Peyron joins this year the 2009 winning team including Pete Cumming - who has been appointed team manager - British Olympic Tornado sailor Mark Bulkeley and America’s Cup sailor David Carr. Masirah’s strength is obvious on the water: the men have worked hard over the past two seasons and know each other perfectly.
