So very much enjoy the daily review, thank you very much for educating and explaning, which is never boring at all. All good wishes to all people involved in The Ocean Race. The passion and devotion is heartwarming.
I like how this show goes from duh moments to very technical moments with no effort, making It enjoyable for both novices and experienced sailors like me ( only dinghy, so navigational stuff is handy to me too)
Nial, the passion is immensely obvious aboard these exquisite sailing craft, such picturesque photography, your question's were answered by these sailors in expertise fashion. Wonderful Nial's, simply marvelous keeping us abreast of the Race to Genoa!
I' d like some explanation about this Orca- exclusion zones. Are Imocas Orcas favoured dish? Do they only go after rudders or are the might go for the foils? What is Procedere for the Teams with Orca contact/ Interaktion? As the rules has changed. Boats are not supposed to keep calm, but now are asked to leave the zone as Quick as possible even with Motor. How is that applicable for the Imocas ? Thanks for some Information.
So basically, many months at sea, Guoy only managed to have a couple of highlights. Ultimately, only scoring two points was it worth it? Pretty embarrassing when even all the VO65 managed to score more points and they didn't even go the whole way. Amber sail 2 got more points then they did and they only did one stage!
Real sportsmanlike behavior would have returned the 3 boats who weren't rammed until all 4 could race together. This championship will come with an asterisk. No true winner.

GUYOT - thank you so much! Dont give up!
So nice to see people up on deck on the VO65s. Such elegant sailboats in comparison.

Nice of you to give a summary of Guyot’s performances. Such a shame they screwed up in The Hague and will be absent from Genova.

Great review on the accomplishments of team Guyot: innovative, fast, able to recover, taking trickier/challenging paths or options, dauntless.
Thx Niall, u r the man!
Hi Niall, good afternoon. Nice weather isn't it ?
Grande Ceci!!! Keep going Austrian Ocean racing Team Genova!

I am doubtful that these boats are weight optimized the point that an extra 3 lbs of food per person is something worth cutting.
3 lb or 1,5 Kg can have an impact. Even if you are only 30 seconds faster in the end, sometimes, it is all you need to win.
Merci

This is just a childish request. Which professional race has ever restarted because of a common racing incident?
