Thank you for all your coverage! Not always able to watch the whole race since its on so late here in NZ. Kiwis look impressive, but so do all the teams that sailed!
Nils, what an exceptional interview with experienced commentary. Looks like the KIWI's have another cup trophy, riding those shifts and powering their foils with pressurized seawater to stay high and flying. Truly remarkable their ability to dominate this modern sport with technology.
One thing the Kiwis have done well throughout is picking the first shift. Even on races where they started slower and behind, they've consistently been on the right side of the track.
When listening to the coms on ETNZ it really sounds like a genuine team effort, with all team members making relevant contributions, like all countries, we like to think we compete on the world stage pretty well for a small country, but there's something about the 1 team thing that we seem to excel at, both humbly and efficiently and as a Kiwi I'm proud to be considered an important part of that team ... Mauri ora !!
I understand kiwi supporters, and congratulations for the great results. But this competition have something that is overcoming the meaning of sport. Budget and computer sofistication applications are in charge. On board cams show no arms movements on kiwis boat. The weel, the pitch and so on are in autopilot's hands. The sailor is a computer. This has very little to do with sailors' abilities. Just an opinion...

Wednesday was won not by GBR’s improvements, but by NZ’s mistakes, which occurred in ultra high risk starting strategies which they’d never have attempted had they not been 4-zip up in the first place.
I'd agree with race 5 when they dropped off the foils, race 6 though it was just out sailed, a couple of minor errors but nothing big. Britannia is a faster boat but not an all rounder and the Kiwis seem to be more efficient sailing. Been loving the racing and hope. It goes to the wire as will miss watching it. 🇳🇿 For the win
growing up in NZ sailing was massive like no other sport. at the time the nation come together for the whitbread yacht race the entire nation donated for it
O took my Irish Wolfhoud to watch the boats com in & dock in Ak in the early 80s & it still is one of my best memories, I got plenty of space with a massive dog.
Well done matt none of what the kiwis did today was by chance or luck...as they have done 95% of the time was pick the right shifts thanks largely to That wind magician Clouds and all of the team being empowered to contribute their thoughts and gut instincts .this is born out of necessity due to their training grounds the hauraki gulf where changing conditions are the norm and help our sailors to be some of the best in the world , couple that to a brilliantly fast boat and shore team makes it allmost an impossible task to beat them as you realise that its only their rare mistakes that allow you a sniff
Great coverage. Love the style with pre race, race highlights, post race, and wrap. Keep it up and fingers crossed for at least a world series event back in NZ.
Winning by 50m is ok, but by 1000m….i do feel sorry for the British. The 2024 AC definitely belong to the Kiwis. It’ll take a miracle for the Brits. Just need to complete the journey as a fan. 😊
Excellent commentary, the best for me! But seriously, ETNZ has too much of everything!. If you take out the 'own goal' and splash down of Wednesday, (apparently trying to be too clever) where the Brits were gifted a victory, there really was only one race which they looked better, and not by much. On the other hand, the margins on all the other races have been consistently significantly greater in favour of ETNZ. I don't understand why in todays races, why didn't the Brits also sail to the right, if they also thought that was better? Or did their weather report not tell them? Is the weather man better on ETNZ? These are the 'top' sailors in the world, and they should know exactly what to do. Go with them, get the same wind and make it much closer, rather than relying on the 'best' start, and then allow the leader to simply sail away! One more race (maybe). SF will never go away; it was simply terrible, and destroyed Dean Barker! But, marvellous for Grant Dalton to come back from then and be on top of the world, for so long!
As a kiwi really like to balanced analysis and inerviewing style but if conditions stay the same or more wind with no chop I can't see us having another bad day like earlier in the week.
This is not sailing, this is electronics with bicycles. As impressive it is. Thankfully the Kiwis already state they’ll drop that bicycle design for me next cup.
@@MrDschubba Having previously felt sure Burling would be a not-starter, and quite possibly a disaster, in the commentary box, I'd have to say that when the opportunity arose (due to their boat being wingless for several events in the last SailGP through no fault of theirs) he was really excellent (or, in kiwi parlance, "fairly good, actually").
Our boat is completely different to the dog we had to sail in 2013. Referring to that constantly just shows how desperate you are for the smallest smidgeon of hope. All the same, I hope the next race is more like the second race we only just lost with a different result of course.
Nice work! Missing in these great commentaries is that the kiwis have a secret weapon. It eg just served them well in the Olympics: the anti tall-poppy-syndrome, making for some of the world's best systems-savvy teams. The UK with its Sir This & That tall poppies really struggles to build effective teams, and too quickly defaults to the Blame Game - cause eg of Brexit when they could have been THE powerhouse in Europe with systems-savvy teams.
Most successful sailing Olympic team for medals…has nothing to do with being better… nz sailor recently said they hadn’t lost those two races.. Where the poppy in that attitude.. Passive aggression as usual
@@blackfishexpeditions6954 See Wikipedia. "Tall poppy syndrome" refers to what goes on within a team. It is all about balance, four minds as one. Really good example today. Hive mind.
@@blackfishexpeditions6954 Olympics generally, not just sailing. In team sports (tall poppy is associated with teams) NZ performs far above its weight. We could all see it today.
How much behind were the British at the end of these 2 races??? Hmmmmm over 1000 + meters why were they silent about how much they were smoked by hmmmm. Salt rub into eound bawahahaha
Comparing the losses and boat development in San Francisco to these machines is not a clever observation, trying to make people nervous when is not really needed.
Same old sames old harking back to 2013. In 2013 Oracle had the superior boat which the sailed poorly, and the shore team weren't getting much of a say on applying innovation. ETNZ had the inferior boat which they sailed superbly. It all changed when Russell at match point bulldozed the management hiatus and they came out next race able to foil up wind and do foiling tacks. That ain't going to happen for INEOS.
That is nonsense, the oracle management changed the rules in allowing electronic usage for better sailing. Of coarse they had one ready where ETNZ did not.
@@myhat99 Yes, I could be wrong but I believe Grant Dalton gave them a lay day when they requested one in which they applied it? From memory I think they flew over a couple of kiwis to set it up?
In San Fran the Americans changed the wind limits after the kiwi boat was built and this were able to build a lighter boat for the lower limits, all they had to do was learn to sail it and eventually they did. It's been great for the cup not having the cheating yanks involved in the rules anymore. On the the other hand the British have been stand up gentlemen which has enabled the sailing to do the talking. I'm hoping for 1 design hulls next event like in Bermuda,with scope for development in foils etc, then like this event it will come down ultimately to the sailors and the wind gods and that is Sailing at its best. Goooo ETNZ
As a New Zealander its a real shame we did not change our flag ie getting rid of the Union Jack when we had the chance ..It still riles me that a PM (who was in favour of a change) never made a decision instead of leaving it to a Referendum..Now lets change our name to Aotearoa (Land of the long white cloud) ... I have no Polynesian blood ...?? Just like to see the Original Maori name ....along with a new flag.....
So waves go away. Thank you. So let’s have the weekend off and make it Monday so our nerves and anxiety can build no San Francisco check Mozzy sail’s analysis
Andy malony not react to your asking what Swiss stupid comment. Kiwis was back with great team work and 8eyes with wind-and seas watching was clearly back! Kiwis team was winning with strategy and team working! Sorry Swiss is an team NZ believe and NZ in heart. Both lost races was not only british strength, also kiwi lasyness? What comments u talking about? Then saying what comments u mean! Matthew why asking an Swiss comment should changing kiwis finding back to they sailing? Kiwis seen it by selves.
Obviously the Brits biggest mistake was not hiring an Aussie to skipper the boat. The rest of the top 4 boats all had Australian helms, even the British Women's AC team had an Aussie. This could be the 5th Cup in a row with an Aussie steering the winner (albeit Ashby only steered while tacking and gybing in '17 and '21 :).
What a pity it is not Americas Cup yachting. The taxpayer instead paid millions for cyclists to pedal a skiff above the water in a foreign country. Did they also pay for the tribal concert party to travel on an expenses paid holiday?
There's just one question I have about ETNZ. If it's true that they use water ballast is it possible for them to dump it via their new rudder to gain a weight loss advantage in light air ? Maybe THAT is the real reason they are faster through the tacks and accelerating so fast. It would be very easy to disguise a siphon pipe as a hydraulic pipe plus you get the benefit of reducing cavitation at the rudder through manoeuvres. Would the Kiwi's cheat as well as abuse the right of way rules ? Fck yes. Its the dirty business hub of the southern hemisphere. Emirates money is drug money from heroine trafficking. They launder it wet. Ever noticed the guilty look on their faces in front of the camera's ? Auckland is a rats nest of corruption.
What are NZ famous for ? Jet boats. So how do they maintain lift and speed through the tacks even when they fall in a hole ? Pressurised water over the foils. They are pumping their way out of trouble. Litteraly. How did ETNZ increase speed over INEOS when they lost pressure ? Why did they fall off the foils in pre start ? Could it be a failure of their cheat pump ? Something doesn't add up. The Kiwi's are cheating. It's the only way you can explain their performance anomalies. Wake up team INEOS. Ask the same questions I did.
ETNZ SMOKING. Faster boat always wins. VMG has always been a Kiwi go to. The one time we went low and fast we took on water and broke a mast,lost the cup

Kiwis anticipated the wind shift off the start; the Brits viewed the wind shift as lucky. That’s the difference between these teams.

This isn't San Fran or Dean, All those who look back, only end up with a sore neck,
That's for sure
When the kiwis make a mistake, they lose. When they dont make mistakes they win. And win big. Looking forward to tonights races.
Keep cool Pete 😎

@andrewprice9444 and we shouldn’t have to remind you that respect and humility are big part of our national character

It's funny how whenever the wind shifts it favors the Kiwi's. It's like they're just sailing better....

Agree ... maybe Matt can start doing rugby and football analysis between cups ?
Yeah, NZ gave GB a proper reality check today.
This will be all over on Sunday.
It's not impossible for INEOS to win 5 in a row- but it is improbable that TNZ will lose five in a row.
sadly: yes.

Is it just my perception or does Ainslie get more commentary and attention than Burling?

@@roderick167 And Ainslie is? Hardly. He too often whines. To me Outteridge is the best.
