@@alastairdow4400 postponing the races till the wind suits them best?? Or shortening the course due to "wind conditions"? Joking, but this is what happemed... Every team and boat this year is a great team, just a matter of experience, a bit of luck not splashing down, and a great start, it'll be a challenging AC!
Looking a bit bleak for the Swiss - Orient weren't supposed to give them a drubbing. ETNZ looking formidable - hard to see anyone but LR giving them a challenge, provided they can cut out their mistakes. As a Brit I was relieved to see Britannia getting a decent start in light air - perhaps a lucky win but we'll take it.
Don't count AM out as a top contender against NZ. They were the only team that beat NZ in the preliminaries and they made up a surprising amount of distance against INEOS by the last leg. If it weren't for the fact their boat was equipped with the wrong sails for the wind conditions they would have one that race. AM is a fast yacht.
@@jamesaron1967 To date the Americans have made so many mistakes that it's difficult to know their real potential. Right now I think the issue is that these boats are fiendishly difficult to sail, and sail selection has been a bit of a lottery in the changeable conditions. Plus the courses have been one-sided, so whoever won the start has sailed away. The only team that's on top of their boat is ETNZ. US and Italy have made many basic errors. UK have a new helm who hasn't bedded in yet. The French were late on the water and haven't got up to speed. The only boat that hasn't shown potential so far is the Swiss. As for the others, they could all beat each other if they get the start and the sails right, and cut out the errors.
Per prendersi le dritta in LL Chicco s’è fatto sfuggire l’unica zona del campo dove c’era pressione nel Gate 2. In quell’istante s’è giocato il mach. Bellissima partenza per Luna Rossa e sempre comunque veloce
To the guys who are running the recording of this whole series could we please p;lease please as soon as possible have constant display of VMG figures. To those who sail boats on a regular basis the VMG figures are far more revealing as to who is gaining ground and who is falling behind than simply speed through the water
yes @pieman26 we are the biggest threat.. without big mistakes as today or in prelims of course.. I pick American Magic as LVC finalist with Luna. Good wind all.. ^^
Well, hopefully they were just sailing conservatively - all they had to do was stay on the foils. As they crossed the line Ben said there'd been some kind of issue. And we've got a new second helm who's just finding his feet. At least they managed a good start in light winds - a lot of commentators have been saying that would be a weakness.
Really good job overall ! Would it be possible to have at all time speed and distance to leader for both boats ? Rather than sometimes having the speed and sometimes having distance ?
👍👌❤🇨🇦, been watching America's Cup since the 80's, I feel that with the judges calling that the boats are to close together because of the invisible bubble around the boats themselves, compared to days of old when boats were sailing closer. This, to me is no longer match racing. It is more like follow the leader around the course. Once you are behind, the likelihood that you will ever catch up is highly unlikely unless the leader boat goes off the foils or a mast breaks. Great boats, but way too much tech and way too many rules now. When a boat is 3/4 kilometers behind at the start of the race, good luck in being competitive.
Soliti errori da polli. Quando sei in testa devi marcare stretto e virare davanti e non di fianco. Quando i kiwi sono andati in testa non lasciano divaricare le barche. IMPARATE QUESTO UNA VOLTA PER TUTTE
we need to accept the fact that the boats are beautiful and they are fast however there is not enough of excitement .. don't get me wrong - I will watch all of the races .. but just saying // old days was much more match racing and excitement .. let's see :)
the cyclor aspect of these boats is pretty bobo. There are as many non-sailors on the boat as sailors. At least on the old boats a lot of the guys on the pedestals were top quality racers in their own right. I mean NZ in 95 had an olympic medalist in the Finn on the grinder.
Maybe you haven't watched matchracing before? Yes, the prestart is a massively important part, in all matchracing. ~10 years ago people like you complained that with the new fast boats it would just be a pure drag race and no matchracing tactics, so kind of fun to see people complaining about matchracing tactics being boring :P
@Robinlarsson83 lol, I've been watching the America's cup since before the great cat vs aircraft carrier controversy. I've also watched F1 since before Senna. Both have become a parade of fast, beautiful vehicles following each other
i really enjoy the races however these boats are too technological - they drop from the foils and the whole race becomes a boring one boat leading race! ... i really miss the old years ..
@@Trajan2401 did you enjoy LV Final Day2? nice to watch boats on foils right? - as I sid beautiful boats and I enjoy watching them too but they are too fragile.
Will the actual cup be at a more reasonable hour for Kiwis to watch. Feeling pretty shortchanged for our taxpayer investment over the years into TNZ. (Which I acknowledge has now become mostly if not completely privatised).
No, obviously it won't? Can't run the races in the middle of the night or whatever :) For once us Europeans gets to watch high end racing at a decent time instead of 4 in the morning or whatever 😁 Look at it this way, if ETNZ had gotten what they needed from your government, the racing would almost certainly be happening in Auckland, but here we are. Obviously the cup is going to be a better financial affair when run here in Europe.
@@Robinlarsson83 ETNZ held the NZ govt and the public over a barrel. Should be held in Auckland (the city of Sails) regardless. NZ and the Auckland Council has poured millions into the team over the years and they take it off shore when they don't get what they want out of them this time. Doesn't feel like NZ's team or cup anymore. Auckland should be alive with teams and spectators right now (or over the upcoming summer). If Europeans want to watch at a reasonable hour/on their home turf, then their team needs to win the cup. NZers have had to deal with awkward times in Bermuda and San Fran over the years just as everyone else has. Not to mention almost every other sporting event being in an awkward time zone. (F1, Olympics, World Cup Football, Premier League, Champions League to name a few).
@@onlinetunaAs a Kiwi, I couldn't disagree more. I don't think the government should be committing the taxpayer to compete in what has always been a p*ssing contest for wealthy individuals. Dalton is raising our national profile and sustaining our talent base using offshore funding, and good luck to him.
@@Albert_Br I'm sorry to say, even if I would have preferred to have it in nz so to go and watch it myself, that team in NZ is actually the only one were the main sponsors are not from the same country, hence they do what is better for their return, which is holding races in places were you can get public on shore and views on streaming to get that return, nobody wanted it in Saudis so back to barcellona as neutral it went. Every team got millions from governments, but if your main sponsor says no, it's no. If we need to complain about something, should be about finding nz businesses that can afford what emirates is doing, and for a small country is not that easy, but tbh is better watching the live the day after that not having a competitive boat, race the cup in nz and loose it, so we end up with no cup and no races either
@@Gottenhimfella agree, better to be the winners and watch the day the day after that spending public money, which are never ever gonna compete with sponsor like red bull, prada o pirelli or bigger countries and loose it. At the end of the day kiwis are the double reigning champs, and that's what it counts.
One on one is the best way to measure the best. No other teams getting in the way to affect that measure. It's a duel, a gunslinger game, one on one, no excuses. When I'm faced with viewing I don't like, I never comment or even get disappointed, I simply switch to something I do like. Grow tf up!
This skiff with cyclists as providers of power does not represent New Zealand nor our fine yachting tradition. It is representative of global money hungry mercenary people using "sport" as a platform.
