Repairs, Repairs and MORE Repairs! | Leg 3 15/03 | The Ocean Race Show 

When you see the crews of 11th Hour and Holcim PRB sitting you start to appreciate Malizia's headroom!

Brilliant shows Niall. They keep us all on the edge of our seats. Thank you

Thx Niall.. your explanations & insights show the real challenges we're watching... that much more than just simply sailing over the ocean... thanks & congrats to your show 👍👍👍🌬🌬⛵️

Heart in mouth as a true sailor retrieves the drone on a bucking ocean at speed. As innovative daring and effective as Ukrainians and their drones. Explanation of why so many birds swarm to inspect Malizia at speed

Anyone else hear Charlie Enright mumbling to himself "Niall, get out of my head!"? 😄 Another great episode from The OR team!

Great update reflecting on the challenges each team face. Some more than others. Using a weather window to inspect, evaluate, reflect and strategize.

Epic video Niall, truly an Epic episode showing how well trained the crews are aboard. Thank you so much for your efforts, spectacular.

Brilliant show - what a challenge. Thank you for bringing such great commentary to it all.

Niall, awesome job with the show, love it!

Another super episode, thank you Niall! ⛵️🍾❤️

Niall, thanks much for the update! This is my first Ocean Race, so very exciting. God's speed!

14:48 Great choice of song paired with the amazing footage from the OBR's

I must be getting a dopamine rush from watching all the boats. My heart literally jumps and starts beating faster when I get a notification from this Chanel and the individual team channels. Just wonderful and exciting. Thank you again for this incredible coverage. I love the red reset button. I might need one when this race ends and I no longer have my daily Ocean Race dose.

Well done! Great coverage of the race!

As Boris says, Well done!

Love it! Great update - Thank you.

The musical theme at the end is as close as you'll get to the Onedin Line.

Great coverage of a great adventure!

Thanks niall. I really enjoyed that.

outro always give me chill

superb show! yhis race is just fantastic!!!!

Absolutely 💯 epic! Happiest most fun team. 👍🙂

the best of sport = life lessons. how to fail forward. dont look back, let it go.

Hi…, what happens if the ice line is moved and a yacht is now too far south and find themselves inside the exclusion zone? How long does a team have to exit and go north and clear of the line?

Watching from itajai. 👏👏👏👏👏

Great show yet again. Can't believe the damage these boats sustain without falling apart. Ugh, that reef tear on 11th Hour, not sure what you can do with that. Rope weave (stitch with halyard material) and patch? Struggling to think of a better way to cure that resin. How about to leave the stove on, seal the chamber as best as possible, and cook the repair like an oven?

You can only bend stainless steel once!

Would be great if the cameramen could use some lightweight gimbles to keep the live pictures straight, but maybe the camera is attached to their head - and anyway they definitely need "one had for the boat" in these conditions!

The very last piece of video here answered to quite a degree how the drone operators are retreiving them after a flight. Shown here is a drone being captured via a vertical handle of sorts protruding from the bottom of it, which of course eliminates any chance of a deck landing which would certainly be impossible anyway. I also noticed that he didn't have a controller in hand, so apparently the cameraman was doing the flying and a crew member did the catching. As a drone pilot, how they are retreiving them has been a puzzle for me, but I still expect that there are several spare drones onboard these boats!

Why is there so little content from PRB?

To win first you have to finish ?

I always see water coming in through the back openings. I can't see how it gets out. is there an opening in the floor?

It is not if but when will they pass there design limits. And if it is the last boat are t hé others capable of turning and picking them up. Wish all crew a safe arrival at Brazil. And I like the reset button, you need it .

Remember the old racers racing frew Ice bergs at 20 knots at night staring at there radars , Feeling the air for cold rivers of air coming off Bergs & all out in the open actually steering the boats ... How things have changed ... For the better ???

They're now, as of placing this comment, on my near exact antipode.

🇿🇦👍🏻

excellent broadcast! So what we learn this week.........these Imocas are not sturdy enough for this kind of race......BRING back the VO60's as a one design

From the comments, I guess I'm in minority... Honestly, I'd much rather watch a great race, than a quest to find the best "Ocean MacGyver".

Great coverage. I am both not surprised that there are failures on these boats and then surprised that there are so many and that they seem to be a result of underestimating the forces involved in sailing continuously weeks on end in the harshest waters the planet offers. Light is not necessarily right. Am I a naval architect or engineer of any kind? Nope. Just a daysailer on the Salish Sea in my 2000 lb 24 foot racer, and even on these protected waters suffered a deck separation from hitting a wake from a fast freighter. But it seems that there are areas of vulnerability that those who have done this endurance test many times should be knowledgeable of. Just as sails are triple laminated at the clue should they not be ultimately reinforced at these and other stress points? Shouldn't "slam" load points on flat bows be ultimately reinforced. Shouldn't known stress points on spars be engineered for worst scenarios? If I'm not surprised are the engineers behind these designs? --monday morning

Is it just me or are there more viewers who conclude that the VOR65 were significantly more durable than the Imocas? I haven't seen that many technical problems in the last two races together.

REQUEST: These are great videos, but the _The Ocean Race Show_ playlist should be in oldest-to-newest, chronological order to facilitate watching the race coverage. Watching newest-to-oldest makes absolutely zero sense.

Ridiculous. All those repairs with only moderate weather. These wrecks will not make it round the Horn.

I would not want to sail with Charlie 👎👎

Ima gonna throw a spanna in the works! WHY ISNT THE CAMERMAN FISHING?!?!?!?

As I see it right now. 11th hour are playing “catchup” with a disappointing attitude! Team Malitzia is the team to beat imo. Confident and competent. PRB are unproven in relation to breakages. Great days to come!

Amazing the difference in OUTLOOK! 11HOUR moaning while Team Malitzia just takes hurdles in their stride! Unfortunately 11th hour is skippered by a WHINING YANK

because the boats are built for show and not proper seawothy vessels. Designed to ride around the buoys at the yacht clubs by ego maniac rich pr----
