And another thing I can't get over; boats that miss the gate for the finish line but get credit for crossing the line in that order anyway: to me that's like skipping a turn marker. If you're worried it's too tight of a gate for traffic safety, widen the darned gate. But in any races I've ever seen, full scale or models, if you don't go through the final gate, it's a DNF unless you go back around, just like missing or hitting a course marker.
Agree, but perhaps, for commercial reasons in this like carracing, the jury must aply a 1 minute (?orso) penalty on that faulty team. Could make nice tactics change
I believe the official ruling was that Canada finished because part of their hull broke the finish line, but they were penalized 8 event points for hitting the mark. So they gained one point by hosing Denmark, but lost 8 netting -2 points for the race.
As Citizen of SF and witness of all races, was hella cool..to witness.. never-mind Team US is joke but be nice. They extended the broadcast and racing time like 30 minutes longer
Rocking out to the background music! Great set!
GBR harnessing that wind that made the others behind them fumble right at the end! That was crazy!
So France got a boundary penalty because it was literally impossible to round the mark inside the boundary? That's absolutely absurd.
Yeah they mentioned it moved, but that seems insane.
Finally, a decent sized race course. Great racing!
And still a small fraction of the course during the SF Americas Cup
@@BlacksBeachBoogieBurner Yes, they will need to increase the courses next season with the expected bigger field of teams. It's often crowded and that only increases the risks of collisions.
I agree, makes you wonder if they prefer more collisions, thinking it'll draw more audience as if it's Nascar racing or something
@@BlacksBeachBoogieBurner Well, collisions could cause serious injuries, and fatalities at these speeds are quite possible. The risks will only increase with more boats next season. Also, they'll be installing new T-foils which should be faster. So, more boats _and_ faster boats.
Do not let go of CJ! She's amazing. So much experience.
Many years ago I used to think that I was going fast on my Hobie 16, hanging out on the trapeze. And these guys are hitting 80kph+ !
I'd love to see the ac50's against the ac40's. My money's on the 40's.
French start was one of the most aggressive and skilled I’ve ever seen.
The US team (and management) needs to be fully overhauled. Absolutely embarrassing.
They have an completely new team. All the old guys are training for the americas cup.
No, the U.S. team was just fully overhauled this season, it's unreasonable to expect a new team to suddenly beat more experienced teams, and changing everything at this point would just dig a deeper hole. Have some patience and try to appreciate that what they are doing today is building up the homegrown talent that the U.S. will need to be successful in the future.
@@martymodus7205 Exactly, Spain was new last year and have had an amazing season now after being last. Germany has just finished their first year and has learned so much. US team now has half a season under their belt...
That statement translates across the board for the US
Thank you for the really cool coverage! 🙏
So... Surely Canada should be given some big penalty points for taking out the finish mark. No excuses mate, you didn't "technically finish".
Always always screwing others as well as themselves
@@farvertex Yup, ironically seems like that finish mark is kiddy-proof because he drove AUS into the rigid version causing major damage. Incidents seem to follow Phil around the race course...
So exciting.
How the hell is the boundary line on one of the gates... Somebody let the buoy loose or what?!?!
Bone-headed administrators with poor policies.
Good racing all round
When they do the interviews where someone is speaking in a different language, like Peter Burling, it would be nice to have English subtitles.
Can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not 😂. I love a good kiwi accent.
@@xavierchoe8074 LOL, definitely sarcastic. I understand him well, very cool guy.
Even the British can't speak English so what hope is there? 😂
How do the French get an edge at the start line and then execute so well in the same wind variability that everyone else had to deal with ?😮
I think they're just better with the small wings, not sure why!
sailing is the best
リアル王海走！❤
It's difficult to be a USA fan. 3rd place start, upwind port tack penalty, bad position approaching the 3rd mark, then last at the 3rd mark. Slowest boat, longest course sailed. 9th place finish. Don't even bother showing the last place finish in race 2. This is the home team.
Can someone clarify something about the Grand Final? Is there an event Final winner in SF followed by the Grand Final ? Or is there just the 5 races followed by the Grand Final ?
Yes, event final followed by overall final.
Congratulations France Australia Denmark
Hope the wind behaves better for the final races, highly variable winds can make it too much of a luck rather than skill event. That would be a crappy way to end the season.
Good evening to everyone. What does "MP" mean?
Seems like team USA should re-evaluate the whole thing. They are always nearest the start before the start, and then last at the finish...
Why is the US even in this race? There must be someone with sailing experience in that country.
This is the only place to practice on these boats. If you're going to git gud, you have to do it here.
I don't understand why spain had to move to avoid france on that final start. shouldn't they be able to maintain their course? doesn't matter that france was leeward.
Very upset Chicago was dropped from next season's tour.
Also, WTF is wrong with Canfield: he appears to have good starts but then instantly gets freaked out and buries the boat back in around 6-7th place in the pack, every time. It's like he and the USA team just surrender too easily.
Every time Aus is mentioned it’s “three time, reigning and defending champions”. Like having a very irritating talking parrot in the room.
T-Mobile cam is pointless, show the overview
Do the announcers get paid every time they say "Master Class"... or are they setting up some kind of drinking game?
Some say the U.S. team has big problems but Canada looked just as bad-- where does the buck stop !?!
seems like Canada took their foot off the gas for this event, acknowledging they're not making the grand finale. Phil Robertson isn't known for being cautious, so perhaps they've got orders from the organization to preserve the boat for the next season?
Todd Harris is clueless and sooooooo annoying
If three boat's hit the line, announce it that way, play politics An'na we will have the Angeles drown you're sorry butt. Ash'ent Mariner ☮️
US team an embarrassment, gotten worse every race
This was their best day in like 5 months though?
Just wondering when SailGP will learn that DEI is the pathway to failure and that more CO2 in the atmosphere is good for the planet.
these are the worst announcers ever Canada went from 9th Place to 3rd place what's wrong with you and not saying nothing.
What are CJ’s credentials? Why is she involved? Does she even have credentials to be commentating. Let’s leave it to Lisa Darmanon or Genny Tulloch!! women who don’t act like total morons on their TikTok page when they have SailGP associated with them.
Dude why so toxic. She’s a legit sailor who’s won Nationals in two classes, including WASZPs, and sailed with the US team for a little. Check your prejudice.
CJ was sailing on the US boat in November last year.
Appreciate her credentials but since she has picked up a mic it’s been painful to listen too. Emily Nagal needs to be given more time!!
Not squeaky Lisa, please.
