LIVE REACTIONS AS 11TH HOUR RACING TEAM WINS THE OCEAN RACE 

They only needed a single point, they would have got that but for the obvious event.

Never. Give. Up. There's a lesson here for all of us.

Not similar sport, rules, environment, culture, racetrack. No comparison

I'm confused as to why people keep using the F1 comparison. Its not the same sport, rules, environment, culture

@@jweitzenheimer Of course it's not the same sport and rules. That's why it's called a comparison... Want to compare with sailing instead of other sports? Fine. They've never done this in the Americas Cup despite similar incidents. Culture or not... And whats next? "Average points" awarded if the mast breaks on a leg etc?

​@@BilldalSWE You better believe that if there is a collision in an Americas Cup race there would be redress asked for. I'm not interested in doing the research but I'd be surprised if there has been no incidents like this

@@BilldalSWE Utter nonsense. In the 2013 America's Cup Oracle was penalized 2 points *before the final even started* for rules infractions that occurred a year earlier in a different regatta. Basically this was 2 points of redress to New Zealand before the racing had even begun. Ultimately Oracle won in an amazing comeback but there was a moment towards the end when Oracle could have one more races on the water and still lost the cup. Penalties hearings are a regular part of the AC competition so I'm not sure what AC races you are watching because it's not the ones Ive been watching. And no, equipment failure is explicitly not covered by redress (as you would know if you bothered reading the rules you are complaining about). The rules for redress are very clear and very logical. In fact this decision, base purely on reading the rules was not a difficult one at all. It potentially had great ramifications but the decision was easy. With Holcim finishing 3rd in the final leg a lot of the angst disappeared.

They used the motor

100% agree. Arbitrary and foolish rule on last leg, no suspension allowed

It's sport and that was a Hail Mary pass

Are you literally kidding me right now? The TOR is 100% European. Imoca is 99% French with deep traditions. Its getting old to blame the "yanks" for everything

The Malizia fanboy reactions are straight memes right about now. They didn't even have enough points for 2nd place. We all love them the most but please just get over it

@@jweitzenheimer there is nothing to get over budy, this is my opinion and clearly not yours, so if there is someone that needs to get over something it is you. 😂 11hour is a yank team that won the race in a boardroom and not on the water. That is the fact, and even if team Malizia finished last that team just resonated with me so yes they are number one in my eyes and don’t really care for your input. 👍💥👏

Cognitive dissonance

Here in Yankland we live with these folks who's opinions are so far removed from fact and truth that the opinions veer into conspiracy theory. We call them Trumpers
