COWES WEEKPAUL Campbell-James on The Wave, Muscat won the UK round of the Extreme Sailing Series at Cowes Week — the first ever regatta win for the youngest skipper on the circuit.

Thirty-six races over six days in front of more than 60,000 spectators, the Cowes round delivered spectacular, adrenalin-pumping action on the water, enthralling the thousands of spectators who packed into the Extreme Race Village at Egypt Point.
