Did you watch last season’s finale? A camera boat got in the way of a boat in the final race off the start line, and completely messed up their race

Camera work is so awful. Every time there's a finish the cameras are watching the finished boats rather than the fierce battles still going on.

Love the fact that there is any coverage of this event at all, but the camera angles are terrible. Am sure there are all sorts of technical obstacles to this, but it would be great if there were much more wide angle coverage of multiple boats so the viewer can see how they're doing relative to each other. Cut out the single boat shots. And cut out the coverage of the crowds mid race, Please.

I agree totally. It is hard to get a feel for the overall boat positions on the course compared with the brilliant Americas Cup coverage. A New Zealand firm provides the Americas Cup graphics and they got into a dispute with Coutts, the Sail GP CEO. So unfortunately we are given an inferior product.

Yes my thoughts exactly especially that last race too much time spent on a close up of the Kiwi boat all at the end all on its own. Yes a close up as every boat as they cross the line but not enough of a wider view of the course during the race and if your country is one of the last three or four boats not much to see, only the left hand side graphic. If they can’t achieve that maybe an overhead graphic showing every boats position on the coarse would be good. A change of commentators would be good too, where not watching a WWF fight.

I suspect the close up filming is due to advertising contracts - particularly at the finish. The coverage is definitely improving and when they get the drone feed live it'll be spectacular and much more eco friendly than helicopters.

Too many close up and not enough wide angle making it difficult and frustrating to see overall what's happening

So glad you make this excellent sport’s video available for everyone. Thank you. Go Australia ❤️

The person editing the camera angles has to many buttons

Its great to be able to watch the races here, I live in Melbourne absolutely no mention of the event on TV here even when we win a series. Well done to Tom and his crew in race two. Have to agree with a lott of comments here on youtube about the TV coverage needing more wider shots to give a better view of the race. One thing I noticed was all the dry grass the spectators we sitting on.

Coverage of the start has been woeful. Sadly the director seems to have little understanding of its importance.

We're from NZ. Love your show. 😍😍

Really, really poor coverage of the actual racing. Well below normal standard.

Fantastic racing thanks 👍, go Pete

Coverage getting worse and worse. First start, it took until the third leg to get any useful camera angle... Filming the start from the front, not any sight of the (winning) Canadians. Maybe plan some flight routes for the helicopter with times. Only thing worse was the total lack of air coverage during the finale...

THANK YOUSE ALL TEAM ! THIS IS SUPERBLATIVE ! VISION & PRODUCTION ! Lazza: you pulled it off in the Sydney to Hobart :) Rusty (now Sir): you pulled it off at the World Youths at Takapuna, where I tanked in the doubles. Our sailing world is so much better now thank to all of your team effort ! 💚

Hell of a job captain obvious does there. 'So you're going to be a commentator' "Fantastic, I can bring my experience and insights to really bring the races to life" 'Weeeellllllll..........we were thinking you just say how fast they're going occasionally' "As well as commentating? Because the speeds are on screen" 'Weeeeellll.......you can say how long they've been on foil once or twice too' "That's on the screen too is'nt it?" 'And can you say it suuuuper enthusastically, like it matters to anyone' "Fu.........I'd love to.....yea happy face"

The Americans certainly are consistent. As an American, I hate to say it. But it may be time for Jimmy to get out of the way and let someone else drive the boat.

Welcome to the team Jo

The American announcer is bias as points out what the American boat is doing. Instead of looking at what strategy’s other boats are doing

20 minutes in. Would be nice to see some sailing. Go Canadr.

Get rid of the km/hr data!!

Total domination by NZL, can't recall seeing a race where the winner was off by themselves by almost a kilometer!

Everytime the announcers mention Canada’s boat it sounds like they have a problem getting the words out. I don’t know the number of times they had Canada in the wrong position and I definitely got a strong impression that they would be much happier if any other boat was winning.

What a finish!?!!! (Race 1;)

If that's the best unbiased coverage you can do then its a blight on the sport of sailing. Terrible camera angles, missing all the tight action and only interested in the poms and yanks! Didnt even mention the Ausies starting nearly last and finishing in the top 4. By the way they are the 2 time champions so far.......:)

Yes OK settle down, a fellow Aussie here. Yes they did talk about how well Australia did comming from the pack to win race two. The American commentator is always talking about the US no matter where they are position in a race as if he is only commentating to an American audience and they focused on the brits its because its their home tournament.

Go the Kiwis

Come on Kiwis!!

have a look at LIV-golf ---- fire the management.......respect for the teams

It didn't look like Robertson helming in the 2nd race??

Id much rather see VMG over boat speed (in kms...)

the video coverage just keeps getting better. great for us old armchair sailors.

Jimmy doing the starts better here, but then Hans dumps the foils on every maneuver... Spithill's starts are classic monohull boat positioning but the Kiwis and Canadians are doing a sort of "Leeroy Jenkins" prestart; getting up a speed run from behind the pack so they hit the line going supersonic, twice as fast as Spithill... That's very very tricky to do without going over the line early, but they're doing it. Jimmy will have to "throw an elbow" to disrupt that strategy, without fouling. Is it too late to replace Hans? We're just not seeing steady improvement on the foiling controls and coordination during the tacks.

In race 2, Canada went from #4 to #9; meanwhile GBR went from #9 to #4. What the heck happened?

Australia just got a great tow !

Did the umpires penalize France incorrectly in race 3 at the start? Looked like they were to leeward of the auzzies. They were on the right at the start and a left hand turn at mark 1 goes upwind.

what a terrible job by the director, missed most of the important moves by the boats

Canada vs NZ = NZ vs NZ

please for the love of god dont put the audio through from the actual boats its just this high pitched squeeling sound and adds nothing to make the race more exciting. its really rather annoying.

All the complaints and criticisms about camera angles and commentary/coverage here is a joke. These boats are sailing so fast that trying to do what the keyboard warriors are requesting is near impossible, whatever it is they want? Putting multiple cameras out on course and bumping between them would be impossible. The camera coverage and commentary is great. Think of how sailing races have been covered before this in any class? Hardly award winning. There was a feature on drone approaches and I imagine this will fuse into it more somehow. So many people/armchair experts are so hard to please these days.
