It's so nice that you're giving the other teams some practice before NZ enters the room.

Lol If we had someone in Oz with the motivation and dollars to burn for an America’s Cup challenge again we’d kick NZs arses. Spithall dominated Burling this Cup in the starts and tactically but NZ just had the faster boat. Not to mention he won and defended the cup multiple times for the Americans.

Looking forward to being in Bermuda for the 2021 season opener in Bermuda in a few weeks. Should be a great season for SailGP. Best of luck to everyone involved in making it happen.

I like this, I loved Season 1 and was watching right along, but I feel like this might not be the best format for a documentary designed to catch new fans up on everything that has happened previously-- it just dives right in to interviews and voiceovers from the people involved without laying any sort of framework or background. I think it might help to have a narrator just giving a bit of explanation to build that framework for what we're seeing. Explaining who Coutts, Slingsby, Outteridge, etc. are, what history they have together, etc.

Cannot wait for it!

Gonna be fun with the Kiwis init this year

Seems like this series should be called 'Sail to Survive'

This is a recap of the 2019 Season before the lockdown. As the summary says, “Find out how the league was born”

These look like dinosaurs 🦕

This is a more affordable and more accessible format which allows for more competitors unlike the America’s Cup(billionaires need only apply).

Ac75s is the way to go...

The Sail GP app says it starts on the 24th in Bermuda. Not the 2nd. Why the difference?

You should clarify that these are not the current teams.

Seems like some of the info in this is out of date. Jimmy is helm of the US team, not Rome. For example.

This is a series designed to catch people up on the history of the event before Season 2 (re)starts in Bermuda at the end of the month, so yes, they are starting here with the league founding and the first two grands prix in 2019 and presumably the later episodes will take us up to the present.

Seems to be mostly a recap of the first season, so as to generate excitement. I did not find the video exciting. As someone who followed that season quite closely, I found this recap boring

Kiwis the best, that's why our sailors are brought out, never nation against nation because our country cannot compete financially all the time .Race your rich boats Richman, Kiwis the best and let it go overseas so your row boats have a chance. Me not interested anymore, Richman game, not nation against nation, all the best on your canoes.

Coutts is a terrible spokesperson

He does kinda talk in monotone.

This is not real sailing they only sail a course either upwind or downwind, no real sail-craft, no sail changing, no real opportunity to make or take major course changes just speed and spectacle the boats so dangerous that the crew have wear scuba diving equipment in case of capsize. Bring back the ‘J’ Class.
