I´m an enthusiastic wingfoiler and through Luna Rossa and Robins Round 24 finally ended up sneaking into SailGP - thanks a lot for your tour, now I´ve got a clear view where the technology differences are between AC 75 and your class !
It’s simple no corporate money in Halifax, to pick up the the event let alone sponsor the Cdn team….same reason they couldn’t make a pro hockey team work….nice city great to visit but no money.
Incredible recap of the Canada SailGP Team's first year in SailGP - Producer and Director / Hubert Pelletier did an amazing job capturing the highs and lows of Season 3 - merci !!
Weird, but I am 25% of the way into the film and have not yet heard mention of Fred (or Chantal) Pye, who created and funded this team. Huh?? I love the team, love the sailors and will never forget sharing pizza and beer with them after the first race in Bermuda. But, really…this omission is unconscionable…as well as insulting and unethical. Shame on you.
@@mtl-ss1538 I don't know if you know this... but we call the two guys (Hubert and Hebert) who made the film.... the French connection - as both speak French (one from France and one from Quebec) And yes we LOVE our kiwi driver - He has a little bit of a hockey 'tude... and we LOVE that about him ;)
MASSIVE THANKS to everyone involved with our team, and especially to Fred Pye for having the wherewithal to found-and-support the team for as long as he could! THANKS to the next owner who will keep our team, um, afloat. YAY for Justine Beaver too!
This movie is about persistence and this team showed that right from the start! I am beyond proud to be part of Canada SailGP Team and first and foremost being a Fan of it!! Well done to the entire team :)
You guys are amazing! I'd absolutely love to experience one of these boats. The boldness and audacity of Phil during the races is also quite entertaining.
Unforgettable weekend. All three days down on the waterfront cheering on the maple leaf were just electric, hands down one of the best events this city's ever seen. The race win on day two definitely the highlight, had the whole boardwalk absolutely pumped. Hope to see racing back in the harbour for 2026.
I am gutted that SAILGP is running after the short term $$$ instead of growing the fan-base to support the long term business case. I am soooo grateful that I had the privilege and good fortune to have a front-row finish line pier spectator spot for both days (the cheap seats even!). Great crowd and the absolute best venue where we the fans were soo close we could read the data screens on the boats. Incredible. Great memories! Thanks to all on the Canadian SailGP team (from Ottawa)!!!!!
Absolute joke that they're putting in another boring, light wind Middle eastern event for the extra cash and are ignoring the fans who make this sport so good!
