Great racing, really enjoyed the Canadian / Spanish race. Even though I am Canadian, happy to see Spain get into the finals, they earned it. They were sailing well in the first 4 races.

At least Spain learned and came out on top. That final race was AMAZING. Just a masterclass they did. I hope to see Germany get some better results soon.

Gratuliere Spanien zu dem Sieg. Ganz großartiges Kino auf diesem Format, Freue mich über den 5ten Platz für Deutschland im letzten Rennen.

Thanks for the broadcast. Tech issues yesterday solved, and the great commentators made a light-wind final exciting. Kudos.

From the perspective of a sailor (certainly, for this sailor), light air races are generally the most exciting.

For those wondering why Canada did not get a penalty at the mark rounding before the finish, Canada was on starboard and had rights.

Yep. And since Denmark tacked in the rounding circle they lost rounding rights so Canada was also had rights to head them up as much as they wanted

@@BRMCaptChaos Denmark tacked in the turning circle so they forfeited rounding rights to Canada. Since overlap between Denmark and Canada was established through a tack, the leeward boat, Canada, does not have to sail its proper course. Leeward boats only need to sail their proper course if overlap is established with a windward boat from astern.

@@theendergamer3194 understood, I thought this was touched on in the NZ/AUS problem last year. As being dangerous as opposed to Rule 17 (which I get would practically never apply in SailGP). I don't see any issue with the manoeuvre, unless you're sailing a boat off the course in proximity.

@@theendergamer3194 I was referencing the event at 30:40, DEN (following AUS) doesn't tack but they are on Port vs CAN Starboard. Rule 18- Mark Room does not apply to boats on opposite tacks here, and general port-starboard right-of-way has no proper course stipulation.

Congrats to Spain!

Do these commentators talk like this in normal conversation? Be better to clam up a little and let’s hear the onboard talk. Please !!

I'm surprised how crap NZ is in this format hope they're better in the Americas Cup when that starts up

Who are the broadcasters

It is truly AMAZING how the U.S.A. suck so bad the last 6 meets. half of season 3 and now season 4. I really ready to stop watching the GP. Because I have no hope of my team able to compete.

The use of the word "impact" in recent years just baffles me. Used to be that we wanted to reduce impact or do "no impact" camping. Now impact investing and impact league are helping the environment. Seems like there needs to be another word along with the word "impact" for it to be at all clear.

what an underwhelming event.!! No breeze and a Mickey Mouse course - sorry SailGP but your event scouts seem more interested in the sites who pay the most and not where we can expect the best sailing.

This racing was nailbiting from my perspective. Are you an active sailor who relishes getting the best performance possible in light airs? It can be far more interesting that sailing in a steady breeze, and is definitely a better test of skill and composure.

@@lizdavis9535 I am an active sailor and sailboat racer and travel throughout Europe to race. Light airs sailing can be very interesting and a great challenge. However in this case, the course was split in two and if you went up the beat on the right hand side you were toast in both the light stuff on Sunday but also in the stronger breeze on Saturday. SailGP want to be at the forefront of high performance sailboat racing. The organisers should therefore provide a venue that is fir for purpose and not best suited for champagne drinking celebs that don't know two cents about what's going on having the best view while obscuring the racing.

What happened to ream GB Get your act together lads👎🇬🇧

Really trying to manufacture drama about Spain not getting to the finish line in time.

US boat hasn't been competitive since they switched crews. Starts are awful, number of maneuvers is higher than average and it's just not fun watching Oracle anymore.

Can I ask why commentators are so Aussie favs? Most of the world can’t stand them and 3 wins in a row is not helping them one bit.

Just because they’re simply the best all around. Lead is getting bigger once again. Simple tactics. Best team on the best boat, scoring most points overall. It’s the Red Bull in GP Sailing. And a LOT of people hate Red Bull and Mac for dominance in F1, but there are also a LOT of fans out there. Same with the Aussies in sailing. Love or hate them, they’re a great sailing crew on a great sailing boat!

​@@PatNetherlanderAs a kiwi I entirely agree. They are not just phenomenal sailors (as you point out) but great sports, and remarkably free from stereotypical Ocker brashness and cockiness. I have to hand it to them, they deserve to be winning every series, with their consistency, flair, and their ability to keep learning and improving.

Congrats Spain. Well deserved. But this entire event was a painful watch. Commentator’s working hard to make it seem exciting if a team fluke getting on the foils and catch the leader. Two underwhelming event sun a row isn’t great for the brand.

Their greenwashing campaign is so annoying.
