For anyone else.... there's no racing on this broadcast, the start was perpetually delayed for a dolphin on the course
I wish I had read your comment before I spent 15 minutes scrolling though the 1.5 hour broadcast to find NO racing (apart from the replays).
Thanks for the info
And finally a country that actually cares about protecting wildlife..
If only more countries wouldn't do the same the world would be a better place
@@dswee3005 however the globalist puppet politicians don't give a damn about the people....
Totally just saw this after sitting for half hour waiting lol 😂
Thanks, shame they don't have rain days to run races when there is,issues. Catering to the local ambience too much. Lets have more if they spectators will come!
Topping the fleet on Day 1 are the smiling dolphins! 🐬
Dolphins laughing about this one.
They did it on porpoise!
Insulting dolphins...I have a feeling that the dolphins are smart enough to avoid the noises that the boat makes ❤❤😂😂😂😂
Dolphins are pretty smart. They track ships, speed boats and more?
These are qualitatively and quantitatively different.
🎵Waves crash underneath, Sounds like Thunder speaking!
Flying cars and machines, Driven by the world's best! (Yes!)
Powered by nature, Powered by nature!
Raw Passion, all action, w-w-winner takes all!
Racing on water, Racing with Impact, Give the dog Everything, G-G-Give the dog Everything!
(We are) Racing!
Winner takes all, Winner takes all!
We are SailGP!🎵 1:06
Es un deporte que admiramos y tenemos que recurrir a RUclips ni en nuestro país hablan de Sail Gp
Which country is that?
The care y'all have taken for a mammal on the course makes me love Sail GP even more.
Rubbish
SailGP don’t care. This area is a Marine Reserve. It is also protected under NZ law; The Marine Mammals Protection Act NZ 1992.
Yeah it wasn't sail GP taking care of the mammals. They were forced into this position by NZ law and the fact they were wanting to sail in a marine reserve, a reserve not coincidentally established to protect these very dolphins.
good job
Precioso barco ❤❤
Victory
Thia is the last event in Chch SailGP said
Dolfins are hanging about waiting to see what these new boats are going to do!
Maybe the dolphins are watching the race ❤
Yea disappointing this could not have been handled better. The current approach is not sustainable, but they aren't coming back to Lyttelton again, so a select few in Chch will be pleased about thats.
The small surviving population of Hector's dolphins will be particularly relieved.
@@Gottenhimfella Hectors dolphins are vulnerable but not endangered at this point - there are over 15,000 adults swimming around Te Wai Pounamu. You got the small bit right though - they're the smallest dolphin species in the world. They're also super quick & agile, and those boats wouldn't be able to hit them if they tried. However they were wanting to play in a Marine Reserve, and that means they had to follow the rules however inane those rules are.
@@_JustinCider_ You clearly haven't seen the corpses of Hector's Dolphins gashed by the props of outboard motors.
If you are confident there's always a safe place for a Hector to surface and breathe (which being a small mammal they have to do rather frequently) when surrounded by ten sharp sushi-cutter foils (which is all they can see from below) doing over forty knots in directions which are sometimes remarkably aligned and then suddenly chaotic, then I think perhaps your empathic imagination could use a bit of a giddy-up.
It's not as if they have had the opportunity to adapt to this, or ease into it. It's nothing like anything they've experienced (which is not true for propellors)
@@_JustinCider_ It is not the size of a population which is crucial, it's the trend.
"The 1975 population size of South Island Hector’s dolphins was on the order of fifty thousand individuals .... Current [2020] population size is estimated at 30% of the 1975 level. This equates to a 70% decline over the last three generations (39 years), compared to the previous estimate of a 74% decline (IUCN 2008). The IUCN criterion for Endangered is a population decline > 50% over three generations.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, IUCN has become the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.
Switzerland!? 😵💫Is this a witz? Anyways, well done guys!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep up the good job!
Simplify the course and more people would watch.
Luckily the organisers, despite (or perhaps because of) being motivated by profit, don't share your simplistic viewpoint. Maybe they realise that they need to attract the world's best sailors, who don't share your enthusiasm for a race to the bottom in pursuit of a hypothetical slack-jawed, uncomprehending viewership.
Дельфины пришли поболеть за свою любимую команду....
Unbelievable. What a farce.
Don’t come back please
Yea in UAE or Saudi they would of just shot the dolphin so they could of got on with racing.
Please never visit New Zealand, you and your ideology isn't welcome here
I agree....it is a farce.
Untold millions of tonnes of garbage dumped in the oceans yearly.......
I wonder if the dolphins are picketing?
Formula 1 on 🌊 💦 absolute beast of sport 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🛥️🛥️🛥️
Are you going to upload day 2?
The thing is, Dolphins own this real estate, so the rest of you hooligans can get stuffed.
The over production and hype of these videos will deter sailing fans
I understand what you're saying and share your distaste, but when the racing is as compelling as often is, I think most hard core sailing fans shrug it off. In comparison with other sports covered from the US i guess it's pretty moderate. I worry about the long term effects of industrial strength hype & clickbait on everyone's bullsh#t detector circuits. We can see where that ends up by looking at the US with the recent proliferation of crazy stuff like 9-11 conspiracies, birtherism, and MAGA
This is a sport powered by nature and nature is unpredictable. Sometimes we have no wind, sometimes we have too much to race, and here we had an animal delay just like we’ve had animal delays in the past. It’s part of the experience and I believe that SailGP did the right thing by having the monitoring system in place and delaying racing to protect the endangered dolphins.
Tonight wasn’t the best RACING outcome, but it was infinitely preferable to seeing a dolphin killed by an F-50 on worldwide TV. What kind of an image of SailGP and Christchurch do you think THAT would have sent to the world?
I'm glad someone sensible is in this comment section! Not only animals could have been hurt but also the sailors. Conditions were good for high speeds and a collision could have been disastrous for any boat. Good thing it was canceled.
This is the only good comment, lol. Every little sailor is taught, that sailing is a sport in the nature and with the nature. You care about ducks, swans, fishers, reed, and so on. You don’t put yourself over nature on this sport.
So they're sailing these boats around the world? It's not powered by nature, it's powered by your insurance premiums, backed ,ncreasingly, by oil rich nationss. That you can be blinded of the reality by the concern for a single sea mammel is sadly reflective of how these billionaires came to have the means to.create this circus in the first place.
While it's nice to feel this way, this racing series will not be sustainable if they don't actually race. People won't buy tickets. People won't tune in. Sponsors won't waste their money. Broadcasters won't waste the air time. And while there has been delays for wildlife, I don't think the entire day of racing has ever been canceled. Great for the dolphins. Horrible for SailGP..
@@DriverDad58 It sounds like you're prioritizing a sporting event over the safety of the crews. Light wind days and venues with poor sailing conditions are a far greater problem than marine life. I don't remember a whole day being canceled on account of cetaceans present on any course. This problem cannot be that serious in the grand scheme of things compared to light wind days. If you're worried about the cancelation of the series, worry about the weather. Sail GP will never allow a race to continue with large animals on the race course for the sake of the boats and their sailors, and yes the mammals too.

I'm an animal lover. I've also been at sea a lot of my life. Pick an animal that's absolutely whip-smart and doesn't get hit by boats or ships and it'd be "dolphins"! They used to ride the bow of fast warships seemingly just "having fun." I would absolutely understand the postponement, were this to be a whale, but a dolphin?
If the harbor is known to have dolphins present, don't have the event there.
They were told by an advisory group not to have this event here a looooooong time ago.
They were warned a long time ago
They were warned this could happen
They were warned to take it somewhere else
This is a Marine Reserve, what were they expecting
Under the Marine Mammals Act NZ 1992 this is what happens.
Now Russell is trying to blame local Iwi and DOC, wow. He has a tendency to shoot from the hip, but is genuinely a decent guy. But even I’m shocked at his comments.
His passion for sailing is insane, but this has gone too far.
There are no "drivers" in sailing and speed is measured in KN instead Km. Commentators are very annoying pushing km and drivers in peoples heads.
1:31:40 We’ve known about the possibility of dolphins disrupting the racing for months, so why attempt to race here?
Unbelievable.
What an embarrassment. Imagine Usain Bolt's race being called off because an ant was walking on the racetrack.
Geez those poor dolphins paid for their tickets and just wanted to watch some racing...
Sail Grand Prix is getting strange a location for each course is disappointing- this could have been handled better. Typical NZ .This series is becoming a joke with windless venues , islands in the course, now dolphins, while all the time virtue signaling about how a massive logistical circus can move around the world while being carbon friendly.🤮
Dolphins and sailing since when they cant RACE together? LETS NOT BE RIDICULOUS
40 knots of sharp foil into a dolphin makes both a mess of the dolphin, the boat and the crew's noses.
@BRMCaptChaos agreed, and avoidance is harder if they're in a school. But was that the case?
@@BRMCaptChaos oh yeah? Has that ever happened? Like one time, ever?
As much as I love Sail GP,you really haven’t helped by putting this first days event to air.Bad enough for the people watching live to waste a few hours but why try and milk a non event.Understand not racing with the dolphins,maybe it’s best to try Auckland
8:am pdst
Any dead heads floating around?
Don't waste my time.
what a pointless waste of time
Unfortunate for so many people, how can some dolphins (and not millions of other sea life critters) that are in the sea be halted by some narrowed thinking humans that sound like a minuscule minority…
Waste of time that was.
Of course i dont want to see a dolphin get harmed, but it seems like a lot of wasted resources (flights, shipping, repairs, electricity, food etc) on the off chance a dolphin doesn't get out of the way. I am asumming the restaurants at the site where vegan right🤔.
Imagine actually buying a ticket and showing up to this 😂 disappointing waste of time and money
What complete nonsense. It's a fucking dolphin, they know how to move out of the way.
That might be true if one or two boats were slicing the water with sharp blades (and no hull in the water, contrary to any boat they've ever encountered) at up to 85kph (nearly three times a Hector's max speed) but there's ten of these things, sometimes in line abreast, but often chaotic and unpredictable in their manoeuvres, and the Hectors have to breathe often.
@@Gottenhimfella Yeah, like I said, sheer nonsense. You've got all the answers except the right ones.
@@jaysparc and you make it quite clear that you believe sports fans and the rich exclusively get to decide for all of us what is right? SailGP capitalises on putting nature ahead of all other considerations, but Coutts clearly did not get the memo.
@@Gottenhimfella Go call your friend Dylan Mulvaney and commiserate over a Bud Light. The world is ours to use. Dolphins are smart, they'll duck.
@@jaysparc Your latest post reveals two things, not just where you come from, but also from what section of that nation's population. I meet plenty of people who come from your country, and most of them spend much of their time apologizing for the section of their population you represent (who generally do not travel outside national boundaries ... and it shows)
The young man yearning and needing his new pair of shoes for school gathered up enough courage to ask his Mother "Mum do you think you could purchase me a new pair of shoes as my old ones wore out they talk now".
The shoes having put up with a lot of abuse simply couldnt do there job anymore.
Even though the young man knew his mother was to poor to buy the shoes he plucked up enough courage to ask.
Then the mother replied "Sorry son the costs are just to high and with all the children to feed I cant afford the costs so its a no from me".
OK the courageous boy said, so he ingeniously went to his next plan.
Gathering in a roll of black duct tape he grabbed his shoes wrapped and wrapped and wrapped fixing the soles back.
Then satisifed painted the shoes black.
Then the next morning he presented himself to his mum proudly and said
"Look mum good as new" chuffed he then left to school. The mum proud of her son then did not realise this would be the last time she would see her son as he departed.
At school this courageous young man was bullied, laughed at and scorned and taunted all because he tried to repair his shoes that looked far from ordinary from other students.
Later he took his life.
No es justo
I see why the west is finished.......
What absolut bollocks. Dolphins are astute enough to stay out of the way. Pathetic.
But are their reflexes fast enough to avoid being hit by a boat moving at over 30kts...?
How do you know that?
Did you ask them or go and check or what ??
@@jamesaron1967YES
@@warrendarress6901 Proof?
Because my powerboat goes a lot.faster and they.are often playing around in front on the bowwave where.i live. They are also not deaf.
Genuinely what the hell. 🐬 in the water and you stop everything. Has NZ turned completely bonkers. 😂😂 Geez that is a new one maybe next year they stop because the water is too salty. 😂
what a fucking joke
What complete and utter BS , don’t go to this wine country again , the dolphins would soon clear off . NZ is so full of bs , but what do you expect from a country that had Adherne as its premier . This series is becoming a joke with windless venues , islands in the course , now dolphins , while all the time virtue signalling about how a massive logistical circus can move around the world while being carbon friendly.
Wonder how much sea life is killed during shipping all this kit around the world between wind starved, oil rich countries....only to be it pulled for one dolphin! The hypocrisy is hilarious and the event becoming a joke. Oh but I'm sure the insurance layout for this ridiculous non event will cover the organisers whilst the rest of is keep paying the premiums!
Wah wah wah 🤣
I hope for the sake of your blood pressure and stress levels that your outrage is as phony as your reasoning is flaky
Typical NZ the voices of a few rule over many. Surely there's dolphins potentially in all sail GPS race tracks!!! Better not hurt the plankton either
Would you rather they raced with the pod on the course? It's not only the animals that may be hurt but a high-speed impact could cause a serious accident with crew members possibly being flung overboard. As much as I was disappointed with this race day I'm glad they didn't risk it.
@@jamesaron1967has that ever happened? Like, ever? What about all those prop-driven boats out there?
@@IncrediPaulAZ Can't say that I'm aware of it ever happening but why take the chance? I've seen them delay a Sail GP race because of wood or other floating debris on the course. Depending on the species, an adult dolphin can weigh between 2000-6000 lbs and reach 18ft in length. As much as I love wildlife I was more concerned for the crews, believe it or not.
Ridiculous…as soon as the event was over private boats could onto with no “mammal restrictions” typical woke nz bs
@@IncrediPaulAZ I been held up for an hour on a ferry that was stopped by a pod of orcas. Puget Sound Seattle Washington
Giles Scott is useless go away
What a joke! Don’t come back to NZ we are too woke…the dolphins will move!
That is an endangered species of dolphin. Your comment is abhorrent.
You would think with all the technology they would’ve been able to show us some dolphins, I reckon it’s a minority group flexing their pathetic muscles
You mean The Marine Mammals Protection Act NZ 1992?
A joke of a sport. A dolphin stops a multi million dollar event...
Only in Woke Old Zealand.
Then don't watch it.
Oh no, a country that cares about the wellbeing of endangered animals! What a horrible thing!
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664oh, please, that's a load of crap. How many millions of boats and liners with 20' props are out there and how many dolphins have been killed by them? It's straight-up virtue signaling with zero common sense.
@@IncrediPaulAZ please go play in your own boat and don’t come back
Only in a country that cares about the environment and wildlife.. what a horrible thing that is!!
We are destroying the dolphins home environment and your complaining that they exist and NZ is so woke.
Wow what a waste of space you are..
"Dolphin clearance". Unbelievable. They could not hit a dolphin if it was the mission for every boat. The series is much to focused on "carbon neutral", woke politics, DEI, and being politically correct, in general. Please just make SailGP about racing sailboats at the highest level.
1.Hector Dolphins are the smallest in the world.
2.They generally have a small range and don’t cover large territorial waters.
3.They are only about 1.2-16m in length.
4.This Lyttelton Area is a Marine Reserve.
5.All Marine mammals are protected under The Marine Mammals Protection Act NZ 1992
If you wish to look up the Laws’ around marine activities within New Zealand waters please reference this legislation before opening your mouth prior to engaging your brain.
BOOOORING......😢
