I travelled all the way from Trinidad 🇹🇹 to experience my first live event, and it was worth it!! Happy to be part pf Canada's inaugural event🇨🇦
See you at my next one😊
Oh wow! I hoped you enjoyed our city!
Thank you so much for coming to Halifax!!! It was so amazing to watch this in person!!! Can't wait for next year!!!
So amazing to have you in Halifax. I went and watched both days. Next year I hope to be lucky enough to get stadium tour tickets, they sold out fast
I came from BC to watch this weekend and the event exceeded all expectations!!!
Incredible to watch both days in person and on TV. So fun!
Both days, I was in one of the small boats close to the boundary and it was surreal. Thank you for coming to Halifax, please visit again ❤
Great racing. Fantastic sailing. Excellent camera coverage. Best event yet.
As a Halifax local and longtime dinghy sailor I was on the waterfront with my binoculars for all of both days of racing and much of the practice time (including some stunning front row views of practice from the deck of my ferry home from work on Thursday), and WOW, what a thrill!!!! Never have I got to watch anything quite like that with my own two eyes! Breathtaking action, superb sailing, and it was awesome to see the whole city so keyed up on the sport for a few days - a man standing next to me said on Saturday while looking at the crowds "I think everyone who's ever raced a sailboat in Canada might be here today". I didn't really follow SailGP closely previously but I'm definitely going to be watching races online when I can going forward, and I hope we'll see a return to Canada for another event sometime before too long! You've been wonderful guests and speaking personally I'd be happy to see SailGP come back to Halifax again someday, assuming the bracing North Atlantic weather didn't spook anyone off. Cheers to all and best of luck in New York and beyond! (Go Canada!!! 🇨🇦)
Tough day for Australia SailGP 🇦🇺 Team😢!
It's hard when you have a target 🎯 on your back! 😢
Not seen day 2 yet. What happened to team Aus? Someone said they're cracking under pressure...
Hey @SailGP - um, why the audio graphic? Pretty annoying covering up the video. Not necessary IMHO
Telling the US and Swiss teams they don't even get put in the water because they aren't good enough seems patently unfair: as we saw in the Sunday races, luck takes a big part in the race results and sure things like Australia can suddenly be laid low, and a boat not favored can suddenly leap ahead. You are artificially tilting the results to favor a few who are already ahead, when this is supposed to be a race of equal boats in equal conditions. That's not sportsmanlike at all. Would those two teams have placed? Unlikely but now we'll never know. You can't run racing like this and expect to be taken seriously.
And for points in the leaderboard, the two teams who couldn't race, their score as well as all the teams are affected by this. This is unfairly tweaking the total points.
What's with the unnecessary active insert obliterating 25% of the screen @SailGP ?
This is delivered as part of the SailGP podcast. It is not really optimized for RUclips. They just quickly throw it up on RUclips fast to capitalize on the eyeballs from the racing. Close your eyes and listen as a podcast - because that is what it truly is.
Just glad USA was able to dodge out of Racing today. It was no kind of a day amateurs, someone could have gotten hurt.
It's frequently the case in fleet races that a penalty on the offending boat does not make whole the fouled boat. But I agree in this final the redress against France should have been more. They were clearly in the wrong and forced Denmark to not only tack and give room but sail to the other side of the gate.
Terrible to see the Slingsby Aussie performance!
Time to do a reset!

So.. no mention at all about how the US team was treated? If you can't launch ALL the boats, you shouldn't be racing. This was a shameful display. GB sailed really well, but how are teams like the US going to get back up to competitive speed if they're not allowed to compete? Shame on SailGP for choosing venues they can't actually contend with.
