So much fun to re-watch this on the day of the 2023 Ocean Race start. Best wishes to all teams. God speed.

I love watching these boats move through the water at speed, the waves cresting over the bow. WOW. The crews are just awesome. Wish I could see these ships in person. Greatful for You Tube or I wouldn't get to see them at all.

man i miss this quality of coverage of the VOR. Amazing commentary, camera work, and sailing. Miss this

I think when the boats were rounding the first mark, it was some of the most beautiful sailing to watch

was my first impression as well. 🤗 And also the perfect sailing spot.

Great video.

Love those VO65's

Awesome racing happening here. (Side note: the video is making Cape Town look like it's a desert. It has one of the most unique climate zones in the world. Cape Town is definitely not a desert)

Love the color of the French boat... 1:19:00

WONDERFUL,EXCITING RACE CONGRATULAYIONS TO EXCELLENT ,BRAVE SAILORS APLEASURE TO WATCH ROSELI BECKER PORTO ALEGREBRS BRASIL

I don’t know

agreed with spending too much time on virtual. we're all here to watch real sailing, not 3D graphics

Superbe

Why'd they gybe instead of tack at the 19 minute mark? Just learning about this, these boats are magnificent!!!!

Nancy Dunn to tack they would have had to head all the way upwind then tack and then head down again, costing time..

Nancy Dunn great question. You lose some distance in doing a tack from downwind vs a gybe. But in these wind conditions and the fact the start is not as important as the other 7k nmiles on this leg, it is better to preserve your sails and gear. There is a reason Abu Dhabi is winning this race overall.....

Spend far too much time on virtual Lets see the boats more!!

so much awesome footage when they gybed the second mark, some badly, and in the middle of it all, you cut to the graphic???? WTF???? Do the production people even sail???

+ Volvo Ocean Race hy guys. It seems, that nobody kows the song at 2.00. Come on tell us ,)

I'm a bit confused -- Can anyone answer this for me? Why are they trying so hard at the start of the race? Its not like its a 100m sprint but a 5000+ mile marathon.

I'm watching this in 2021. This is sailing. I'm stuck with a disappointing 2021Prada Cup with 4 competitors.

@@lesteranddonna You nailed it. Been sailing all my life and a fair amount of club racing. Love the sport but America's Cup is not sailing and frankly, it's boring. 4 guys in a couple of cockpits You can't even see what they are doing. The only reason to watch is to see if a boat capsizes dramatically and that is no reason to watch.

Pinwheel at the pin mark lolll

50:26 Kite Surfer !!!

21:34 did they just ignore those 2 small boats collide?

I've watched 3d graphics more than boats.

As a sailor I must advise that sailing boats 'heel' they don't 'lean over'

Why does that guy jump off?

Absurd course. What's the point of having the first three marks if the boats are going to be packed together again because there's no wind where the tart line was?

Is that city beautiful or what?

forecast for upwind for next three days???? what forecast where they looking at? Not what GFS model shows.

I thought the thumbnail was a wave

love watching sailing but will pass on the environmental bs... at least not from a group of people that consume more resources that any other in history. their lack of self-awareness and the irony of their message, I fear, is too often overlooked. stick with sailing it makes sense

too many virtual coverage

oh dear me, what a ????

They are showing too much of the animation thing. I want to see THE BOATS, THE WIND, THE SEA! not a videogame.

Why China even there in the first place?

These boats are quite fast, but my Westerly Tiger, 1971, is faster.

I think you are lying; most sailors are liars!

Commentary is a total joke. You'd think they'd be able to hire people who knew something about sailing instead of waffling about nothing for an hour and a half.

I’m half a man compared to these hombres.

капитализм! а у нас путлер!

Still the worst camera and cut. After all these years, I am still mad. It is a race! You must show the overtakings! Sorry!

Pls stop these regatta's non-sense. That kills the spirit of the initial round the world race. If you like regattas you have plenty of classes to choose from, but not this one.

What is it with the 'girl, girl, girl' thing? These male asshole commentators don't refer to the other boats crews as 'boys'. I'm a male and I find this SO annoying. Get with the times, 'boys'.
