UK production company Sunset+Vine has regained the distribution contract for the Extreme Sailing Series under a new deal with the competition’s owner and organiser, OC Sport.
Sunset+Vine, will distribute all news, live digital and broadcast coverage of the 2018 Extreme Sailing Series. Act One of the new Series takes place in Muscat, Oman between March 14-17.
Sunset+Vine will distribute the official television series of seven, 26-minute episodes to broadcasters worldwide, as well as 90 minutes of live coverage from the final day of each Act and daily news coverage.
A digital livestream of the racing will also be available on the final two days of each Act for online audiences.
Andrew Preece, executive director at Sunset+Vine, said: “Our media partnerships team has been developing in recent years to provide a comprehensive distribution service across programming, news, digital and social.
“The team, which includes international agents in key global territories, provides bespoke coverage and value against our clients’ investments across the full range of platforms and fan communities.
“It is rewarding that our portfolio again includes the Extreme Sailing Series which is a compelling sailing product and one which we helped to become the most widely-distributed annual sailing TV series in the world.”
Sunset+Vine has a strong background in sailing, including a long history with the Extreme Sailing Series dating back to the very first season in 2007. However, the Series opted to go with the IMG agency as the distribution partner for its 2017 campaign.
