Great to watch this again and another enthralling performance by both teams. That said the tack bare away by Ineos (starting 19:20) was sublime; terrific comms, fast, clear decision making and excellent execution - there's the race right there IMHO.
Rare oportunity to hear ships signals of both crews.Channels are open mike radio onboard and appropriate giving us listening and viewing different perspectives and insights allbeit simotaniously,educational and diliberate
This is such a great opportunity for sailing to gain non sailing viewers and I think there should be more terms and rules explained for the non wafi. I mean, most people wouldn't even know what a starboard tack is never mind which vessel has the right of way and racing tactics. I just think more explanation would enhance the viewing for the average person. I know it's not easy with things happening so quickly at 45 knots but I don't think a bit of schooling would negatively affect the viewing for those that already know. There could also be segments in the full coverage to cover sailing terms and race tactics that would immerse a non sailor and IMO give the race viewing another level rather than just seeing boats zooming down the course
Nice if we could have two audio channels - one with more explanation for non-sailors as you suggest and the other with on board audio from the 2 boats plus technical analysis atsome key points in the race.
Completely agree, the boats and the quality of the races has made this the most appealing AC in my memory. I rarely watch every race whereas this season I have loved it. It's a great opportunity for them to grab a new audience, and the best way to do this is to inform the new audience of the new rules. It's a shame a lot of countries are in lockdown as this woulf be a great opportunity for sailing clubs to grab new members. Although an introductionary offer would help with this!
Absolutely agree. It would be easy to make it more intelligible and more attractive - nevertheless, this these most watchable sailing race series I've every seen, so they're most of the way there . . .
Some people are comenting about the frenetic audio. hey I felt the same in the beginning when it was at the start but as we got into the race the audio settled down and having both the comentry and audio from each boat was WONDERFUL. I suggest give it another chance in race 2
The announcing is much improved, imo, as they give air time to the boat crews. In fairness, it must be kind of disheartening for the announcers to read a lot of negative comments, but it does add a lot to hear the crews on open air. They're the ones who have hands on. The boats don't have the sound modulation the box has, so boosting the boat-talk (the crew) makes it possible to hear them more easily. I have no trouble hearing the box with the modulated sound and perfect diction. So well done on upping the boost from the boat.
Too much info on the screen flying past, stick a flag background above the masts and put speed and bearing there and vmg in front of the boat on an arrow.

Just a matter of time before we see some side by side track racing, if you're having a hard time with the audio try turning the a radio on and another TV.😁🤙
I worked as an airline dispatcher. Open comms in your ear the whole time. Operations, check in, boarding, ramp staff all chopsing at the same time whilst Mrs Miggins is trying blame you for her plane being delayed. You get used to separating and filtering the noise and only pulling out what’s important for you at that time.
If the leader traces the moves of the other boat they keep their lead without offering advantages from wind shifts . Luna Rosa won 4 races by doing this . They had a 250 lead and avoided tracing the opponent and quickly lost the lead. I understand that they have to keep it interesting but stratedgy can win this race every time if the boats are fairly even as these ones are . Its clear Luna Rosa stopped trying for a couple of races . They are the tacticians .
Yes, the audio, I think if your a sailor then you understand it all, but non sailors it makes no sense, just excited talking or shouting as things get close.
@@Crossdress5775I don't know, long passage racing ok, but round the bouys most racing boats I know do not change helm. Granted on these boats having to run around the back of the main sail is a pain. Having one helm for port and one for stbd with their different rules might be an advantage.
somebody could also direct the announcers to not talk over all the onboard dialog. Nathan kept trying to turn everyone's attention that way during the christmas cup but the american just had to keep talking. The stern entry streams end up being the best way to learn what's happening on board at that point.
Who's had ever heard of a sailboat race where you had to worry about chop.. and why do people worry about the audio who cares where watching a sailboat race.... Come on people it's choppy out there get over yourselves. . I guess you haven't ever actually raced in any kind of weather on a sailboat... Oh well.
@@susanmcgrath5009 well I hope you get to one day cuz it's really exhilarating.... It's one of the best feelings to let the mother nature user her energy to move you along... I have both a master's license 100 ton in a sailing endorsement on it a hundred ton so... Even when I'm in a 125-ft crew boat once you're in neutral in the wind is blowing you're basically sailing in it also....Something you feel through your feet you become part of the boat.... I hope one day you do get to enjoy the water on any kind of vessel... God bless you and your family..
After last Americas Cup, this event is absolutely disappointing. Only 3 teams in Prada Cup when one is disabled. It's not a tournament of world. It's a race between 3 teams. Unless many countries are involved, one can't be claimed as an world class event
@@iancourt3274 Of course. Just like F1. Question is what was done by AC to get more countries involved? Unless more and more countries are involved, a tournament is meaningless. As far as I could remember, challenger cup was never between only 3 countries
Vendee Globe round the world race is on at the same time but hard to make good TV coverage with 331 Kn Mile between the first 6 but great to follow on line. That has to be some of the best racing and boat tech on TV you can get.

Totally agree, I have never sailed but find these races mesmerising, if I knew all the rules it'd be even better.

Thanks Kenny and Nathan for great play by play!
VERY good audio.. mixing both at the same levels make it easy to listen to one or the other. Good production value; very much appreciated.
Luna rossa se llevó todos los premios!excelente!
it will be nice to show the direction of the wind
man I just love watching theses boats flying, to be that close what a thrill they wont forget in a hurry, awesome buzz..
WOW this is WONDERFUL! I knew the new boats would be fantastic but I doubted that the racing would be close or copetitive. I WAS WRONG!
Wonderful footage, and they're going so bloody fast!
The speed of these boats is unreal.

Can't understand what anyone is saying when you have announcers and both boats' radio transmissions going all at the same time.
Ancora una gara persa per non marcare l' avversario...complimenti
Li hanno stracciati..una gliel'hanno lasciata x pietà
Too much info on the screen flying past, stick a flag background above the masts and put speed and bearing there and vmg in front of the boat on an arrow.
I love the racing but the audio is horrendous, everyone talking over everyone, I had to mute......

Wonderful viewing but audio balance - or lack of - almost makes it unwatchable.
About the "mixed audio"; Tahitian's say, "Maniania" - disturbance by any kind of noise.
Your need to virtue signal is a noisy disturbance.
Agree. Such cr@p audio.
You HAVE to get your audio sorted out!!!! Turn down the boat audio! It totally blows out the announcers. Get it together.
at least give us boat noise on the left and commentary on the right. That way people can choose one or have one each side
The sound is like listening to two radio stations broadcasting on the same frequency....You've got no idea what either station is saying.
You dont actually hear it when two freqs step on each other, lol.

Sublime sailing Ben & Crew.
Please sort the audio, turn down the volume of the radios whilst the commentators are speaking please.

I feel that they are keeping the race close to maintain our interests.
Prada has stopped using the tracing tactics that won them the first 4 races .
Luna Rossa is perfect but her crew is better.
Yes, the audio, I think if your a sailor then you understand it all, but non sailors it makes no sense, just excited talking or shouting as things get close.
Pork chops for breakfast? Up she rises. HAHAHA.
Great racing but everybody talking at once isn't helping my understanding.
Kudos to Ineos obviously but my god Luna rossa is making a good effort to lose these
imagin' the ancestors using these to navigate the sea's. to fiji and back by dinner
I have never heard or seen a racing boat having two helmsmen, I find it very hard to get my head round the Italian boats decision on this.
you dont need to have a helms man running from side to side on the boat
@@Crossdress5775I don't know, long passage racing ok, but round the bouys most racing boats I know do not change helm. Granted on these boats having to run around the back of the main sail is a pain. Having one helm for port and one for stbd with their different rules might be an advantage.
Great
I like to watch the boat racing. But I support Emmerate team new Zealand boat.
F1 is just a loud messy bore now. Technology and skill has produced something truly exciting. What speed!
The Audio is a horrible Mix!? Get this corrected, please!
Better commentators
Seems like a lot of UK trolls complaining about everything in this thread.
The racing is great but the audio is a total F....K Up
Make up you minds!!!!!!!!!!, boat audio or commentators!!!!!!!!!!!!!, the audio engineer needs the sack. Started watching this without audio
somebody could also direct the announcers to not talk over all the onboard dialog. Nathan kept trying to turn everyone's attention that way during the christmas cup but the american just had to keep talking.

sad for Mr Prada..
@Bella Ciao but all good now. 4-0.
Flaing sailboats
Rule Britannia...
È finita la pacchia
Not a fan of the visual and commentary package (just have 2 commentators, not 3), production and coverage of this AC is poor compared to 2017.
Who's had ever heard of a sailboat race where you had to worry about chop.. and why do people worry about the audio who cares where watching a sailboat race.... Come on people it's choppy out there get over yourselves.
. I guess you haven't ever actually raced in any kind of weather on a sailboat... Oh well.
Yep. That's right. Never raced a boat in any kind of weather.

Ma ritiratevi luna rossa vi siete fatti recuperare non è cosa vostra.
Italian's tacks are awfull
Ads make this unwatchable on an Apple TV. Have to keep going back to phone to skip
Awful awful commentary, amateur at best

You clearly DON'T understand what the AC is about. Your reductive analysis is completely uninformed.
Any team from any country can join...its just the prohibitive costs that sink most campaigns before they start.
@@iancourt3274 Of course. Just like F1. Question is what was done by AC to get more countries involved? Unless more and more countries are involved, a tournament is meaningless. As far as I could remember, challenger cup was never between only 3 countries
There is too much technology on these monsters, I miss the AC in the eighties!
