What makes you define what sailing is lol sailing is using the wind and thats what the modern acs maintaining its just a whole new level of sailing but noone appreciates it. Idiots cant recognise the evolution that is. Revolutionary

@@tafatapaleao4588 so you prefer the new recordbreaking and faster F1 rather than the v8s? I’m not saying ac75s are bad, they are fascinating pieces of engineering, but sailing has an “art” component in I can’t appreciate it on the ac75s, they’re just perfect, fast... but soulless

@@tafatapaleao4588 I'm an engineer, and clearly the new boats are marvels of modern engineering. No one is denying that at all. But they are boring to watch, and that is not sailing to me. Sailing is about tactical battles and head games, not flying an airplane between the pylons

Loved these yachts. True sailing.

Spero che qualcuno degli organizzatori della America's cup mi ascolti... Ridateci queste barche! Queste erano gare, no lo schifo che siamo costretti a vedere dall'era dei catamarani ad oggi!

@@LeoLeo-ir5kk lo so bene credimi, ma ho paura che ci siano molti interessi economici e pubblicitari dietro. Negli ultimi anni hanno sempre avuto più la voglia di trasformare la coppa america nella "formula 1 del mare" per attrarre giovani, il che è sbagliato: f1 e americas cup sono due cose completamente diverse. Io non sono contrario all'innovazione sia chiaro, ma qui si è proprio snaturata l'essenza della competizione velica, adesso si hanno "barche" che se toccano l'acqua si fermano e perdono. Ma che scherziamo?

Bring back the J boats😲

Funny to hear a young Jimmy Spithill commentating. He doesn't sound any different!

The follow the leader by ETNZ was maddening. They followed Alinghi around like a lost puppy

Now, can anybody explain why to me what happened to the first cross after the start?There are seems to be a big gap in the footage. NZ was on starboard, then all of a sudden, SU is on starboard, and way ahead ready to tac back, and it seems to me, the weather changed, and the commentators changed, and positions on the course changed, even the crew changed.... Conspiracy perhaps?

NZ probably tacked onto port and split before tacking back. It was probably edited out to shorten the video because not much was happening before they came back together.

Can someone explain why ETNZ kept tacking back on Alinghi on leg one when they were behind!!??? That’s dumb. They have should have been trying to split

with those boats and that format its all about staying in contact with your opponent. you never want to split away from the other boat- only if theres a big certainty of a gain somewhere else.

They tacked back because they were trying not to get caught on the right hand lay line when they would have to follow Alinghi all the way to the buoy . It is when following on the upwind leg that the leading boat throws a wind shadow on the following boat. So Alinghi had an impact on Team NZ for the last 240m rather than 500m or more.

It's obvious that the understanding of this class, AND/ OR sailboat match racing, is novice at best, & has so, should not offer such uninspired advice.

Mate before judging anybody or writing stuff like that, think about wether there may be sailors, maybe even ex pros, not originating from an english speaking country that first have to learn this language and then being forced to discuss with some guy who thinks he had just invented language...
