Can’t mail Jimmy’s mail c/o 7th place because Robertson hasn’t moved out yet!

Nothing better, than a day on the water! Plans of sailing from Lake Michigan to Puerto Rico, solo! Talk about a long ride! Gonna have aa breakfast and a sunset stream daily! SSo looking forward to this adventure! Should be setting sail next spring in the Northern Hemisphere! Truly love these boats! Quite incredible to see where boat tech has come since the 80's!

I though some of the sustainability stuff was just a bit of feelgood green-washing, but honestly that fairing repair solution is actually practical in more situations than race boats.

Love this sport very exciting Well done Team GB 👍🇬🇧

The start of Race 3 is sensational :)

Amazing racing, I saw up to 42 knots on the display! Peter Burling’s a pretty good commentator even though I know he’d rather be out on the racecourse. I hope Hans Henken ends up okay, I met his sister at the NYC 2019 event.

I would enjoy a deeper dive into NZ mast failure.

The jib was not eased, and as the main was eased in the gust the back wind inverted the top section against the eased shroud, causing failure to windward

Great racing. Thanks for uploading.

The American team is consistently outsailed, At the starti perhaps most of all. Even with fair starts, they tend to finish further back.

My guess is Spithill is universally disliked so the other teams screw him up if they can.

Race 3 Australia are NOT early according to this footage...the clock says 0s and every part of the green boat is behind the line.

Hope everyone on the American boat is okay!

Thank you for posting these races! At the speeds these boats are sailing at I think the distances they race should be considerably longer, but it is fun to watch! my opinion 🦂🥂⛵

I predict the U.S. coming in as close to 9th or 10th as possible

What the teams seem to not have learnt yet. When you rattle Tom he falls apart.

Why is the sound level low?

If NZL gets 5 pts due to a mechanical failure why doesn't GER get the same 5 points?

Horrifying! One minute you can see hans standing there, then the hull dips and he's just gone. Scary stuff, is he okay!?!

The trouble with carbon fibre is that when it fails it fails suddenly and without warning. Pretty scary with the forces involved with these F50s - that NZ accident was a shocker. It's only a matter of time till someone is hurt, I'm afraid. But without CF this kind of performance wouldn't be possible so I guess the risk simply comes with the turf...

Good Luck Team USA

can't belive i missed it

What’s the schedule? When is the start?

the director really needs to improve which boat and what time; they were many bad calls on the broadcasting. Also, when there is an injury, it is kind of nice to give an update and try to provide updates. I think the broadcaster needs to improve it's game

Gutted TNZ isnt in this regatta...

Sail GP is being cagey about NZ's dismasting. "The wing came out of alinement." We could see that in the video. They are still not saying why.

Unbelievable that three commentators and the directors do not even mention that Germany is creeping over the line and race one. I find it more than frustrating.

Please mute the crew chatter when the announcers are talking . .One at a time!

What happened to Team New Zealand 🇳🇿 can someone please tell me??

I wonder who thought it was a good idea to have two boats and the commentators speak at the same time.

For good sake, get Spithill out of the damn boat. We've seen what he is and these just are not the boats for him. For a super aggressive starting specialist, where is he in almost every start? Tail end of the fleet. And the start is EVERYTHING in these races. It's embarrassing.

It's Tàranto, not Tarànto.

Was the NZ wing the same one that was struck by lightning in Singapore? If so, could that have delaminated the carbon fibre?

@LilleyAdam

9 ай бұрын

I could be wrong, but other reports of lightning strikes on CF masts say the mast gets destroyed. People use it as a reason to avoid CF masts on open ocean sailing yachts

Pretty much bullshit that Sail GP keep NZ on the dock waiting round for a new rig. Still, since the event owns most of the teams anyway I guess it doesn’t make a lot of difference.

Be good if we heard more cocerning events in the race.........German and American incidents as an example

Spithill is so bad! Any success the USA has is not due to him. He reminds me of an old quarterback that just refuses to retire. So sad. There has got to be some young talent out there right?

How long does the wrap last and what is the savinng over tape and cling film , I’d suggest none . An absolute pr bs exercise when these boats and teams fly around the world owners arrive and leave on private jets super yachts ring the course and well heeled spectator’s are fed and entertained in temporary venues also moved from venue to venue . Not to mention the camera crews , everyone drinking bottle water , and any EVs being charged by diesel generators . Just accept you are not I the least serious about climate change and why would you be with global temps dropping since 2020 , and the whole premise is to exert control by the elites on the proletariat.
