Its legit what partly keeps the racing interesting though. Not the comment people are going to want to see, but a realistic one.Without this kind of risk out there, and the fact they can generally walk away from it, it wouldn't be the direct kind of competition that keeps people tuned in.
I was on a Hobi Cat many years ago. There were 40 MPH winds according to the weather report. We were passing ski boats. Then a line tangled and we went over. I was out on the trapeze. I realized we were over too far and let go so I didn't fall into the rigging. I actually bounced off the water when I hit the water. It took about 15 minutes to swim back to the boat. We did get it back up and sailed back to the ramp. Some of these are worse than that was.
So years ago I worked for a fire department and all they’d watch was motocross, football and golf because they were the only “real” sports. One day during the AC in San Francisco I was watching one of the LV races and everyone kept coming in and trying to tell me sailing was for sissies. My response was to compare any of the wussies out on the football field and how the game stops when someone sprains their ankle. Then I would reference the sailor in the Vendee (forgot his name) who took a boom to the face a broke his jaw then refused to allow his skipper to deliver him to the nearest port for medical treatment as it would put their boat back several places in the leg. The guy suffered a week skipping across the roaring forties eating through a straw with his jaw duct taped shut. Then there was Simpson who was on the Artemis boat who died during a training run. They never mouthed off about sailing again. In fact, once we got past the whole “no, they’re not using motors” the overall attitude changed. What I found most entertaining was their disbelief in the fact there were “foreigners” on the American boat. I asked, “How many guys who play for the 49ers are from San Francisco?” This is a global event, not national and just like any other sport it’s driven by money and egos and money. The next shift I saw that someone had DVR’d the races and they were watching them in secret…..mission accomplished
I really do not understand why football videos get millions of views without edit and bad lighting and a bad sport and here we are 2 people commenting on a million dollar video after half an hour
Give them time, I've come late to the party in the second half of Season 2 myself, and got totally hooked. And I had barely watched any sailing sport before, just final races of the Americas Cup, which is nowhere near as exciting, only more expensive. This sport will get big.
You can see one day the helmsman and the crew beside him getting killed or seriously injured one day with them being so exposed to a boats bow comming down on them. The best crash was of the British boat in one of the finals doing a huge nose dive and capsithing the boat.
The hull adds a lot of drag in the water so the goal is to go fast enough that the foils under the two hills can lift the boat. When the winds are good and in the right direction, they can lean the boat over to one side and lift the upper foil out of the water and ride on only one foil which is faster as there will be even less drag.
I can't watch this video with the distracting contrived music in the background. Talk about trying too hard to be cool, this video editor wins the trophy. This is before we get to the choppy "edgy" continuity and video edits. Literally, I can't watch this. It is too disjointed and unpleasant. You might use everybody in this video to go along with you, but you're not going to use me. Go back to production school and get a refund on tuition.
Doesn't really make any sense to combine bedroom produced (c)rap music with state of the art sailing, unless you want to message that your sail vessels are disposable trash.
Would love to see these AGAIN, with Fault analysis (boats tagged in video), and sailing rules explained! Could be so instructional😅
I second this. I would like to learn the rules better.
Bro this is honestly up there with V8s and F1 in my opinion. Such a cool sport! New here super keen to see more.

I like how cool every body is about it afterwards

But that makes us cool underground hipsters, right? ;-)
@@Kpiotr I just got into it last week!
Sailing is the BEST sport. Period!

wen halo?
For a new version of this you chaps have to add the New Zealand mast break!
The circle zone around a mark, how does a skipper know he’s at the Zone boundary?
All the boats have sensors on board that tell them
Thank you, SAIL GP, for making all other sailboat racing irrelevant!😂
why only one front hydrofoil in water not both of em can anyone answer me i really wanna know thanks

OH $$$$IT !!
The Japanese are the only ones not screaming at the other boat.
''It's a jungle out there''..!!! **( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )**
And I thought Formula 1 was the only racing sport full of action !!
I'm the first 🥇🎉
SO???
This is an official channel of a company!!!
Be more professional!!!
2.07min onwards admits the cause of the Pete sandwich hahaha. If only France were on there foils.
3 involved gbr... sum gotta be wrong with their helmsman or tactical
This business of hulls coming over the top is pretty unacceptable. Are we gonna see crew in half live streamed?
The term Boat Race is slang for any fixed sporting event. We all know that this was boat race.
In my university days, “boat racing” was a beer drinking competition in the student pub.
@@keithmills778 I am sure they were all drunk.
Sup
Chill out Ben.
Strangely Americans and British are very often at the root of accidents !
I'm picking up on your sarcasm.😅
Worst format. I just want to see the crash, not the same crash repeated every 5 secs.
Depuis que les Américains ont volé la coupe face à Alinghi je n’ai plus aucun respect pour ce sport.
😉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👋🇫🇷

It is all fake. These things can turn on a dime with space age telemetry. Twenty million dollar boats competing for a million dollars.
wut
WHAT is fake???
