Sailed these beasts for 3 seasons in western Australia

Sydney Harbour, blood and you are in the water. Not my idea of fun. These boats were amazing, I presume they are still going? 🇦🇺👍🍺

start around 29:00

Well done guys, its a pitty andoo a wasn't able to compete 💪⛵️

Thank you Sail Media, great coverage!

Isn't it extraordinary how handicap racing throws up close results?

Thank you everyone involved in Beijing is this series. I have lived every race!

Another excellent season of sailing coverage. Thank you! I really liked that you didn't try to up your game or outdo yourselves for the JJ, just stuck with what works. No fancy, but hard-to-see screen in screen stuff, just solid shots, skillful piloting of the drone and cat, and interesting, flavorful, commentary. Kumquats are tasty, but I do hate the wakes they make!

Great finish to the season, not sure how I’m going to fill my weekends. Thank you to all involved

Thanks to everyone involved in this great coverage. Looking forward to next time

great stuff untill next time

Thank you for another fantastic season with the 18s. Magnificent Sail Media team and pictures. Usual comprehensive and insightful commentary. Great team, great sport.

Thanks to all the team for a great seasons coverage. Great Sunday viewing in the cold winter in the uk. Please give regards to friends Zeena and Tink if you see them. Looking forward to next year. Cheers. Pete Best.

Sail Media 18 footers Best yachting program on the planet Made by people who race yachts for people who race yachts without trying to appeal to a greater audience Great boats and crews with plenty of thrills and spills. A thanks to the sponsors and crews here.. Unlike A cup and GP each race is not about 5 minutes of techno but is about reading a course and sustained crew teamwork over a decent length course with detailed and informative commentary After watching enough races I am getting to know the wind shifts on Sydney harbor as well as the patch I sail regularly Worlds best drone coverage ( Americas cup and sail GP can learn a lot here) and hell where wouldnt it be without our commentators whose sense of humor and extensive knowledge of all aspects of 18 footer sailing bring it all to to life. Thank you for an excellent seasons coverage

I can't tell you how much I look forward to your coverage of the 18s over the summer. Thanks again guys. Can I suggest you re-stream the 9 JJs races maybe starting in June so we get another 9 weeks of Sunday afternoon pleasure in winter

As usual, the best sailing coverage (along with Sail Media’s 13 and 16 footers) on the Internet. And how nice to see a different victor this year. Roll on next year…!

Fantastic coverage from the Sail Media team. The best compliment I can give you is that my wife, who would only get on my boat at gunpoint, watched the final race. Some excellent sailing too across the nine races and hats off to Yandoo and also The Rag for keeping the regatta alive. And as I'm here in the UK well done to UK91 and the other overseas boats. 👏👏.

Well sailed Yandoo, well deserved win. Hope to see Woody back next season. Thanks for the great commentary and coverage of the 18s this year.

Congratulations Yandoo👏. Thanks Sail Media. 👍👍

Calling nine races in one week can't be easy on the voice boxes, next year maybe the commentary boat needs a cough drop sponsor 🤔

Fantastic all right ? the whole week put together by truly a team of top performers both on the water and on the camera boat ? thanks to all>>

Top job guys! Gonna miss the almost daily dose of racing and commentary. Definitely a highlight of the sailing year.

What a wonderful event; what a wonderful Class! I am so very impressed at the way you have upgraded the media equipment including the cat herself in recent years and learnt how to use the drones so effectively. Thanks so much for enriching our Northern winter. We have our sailing season to come now but I will look forwars to joining you again next autumn. George Morris, Scotland, Weta 117

Thankyou Sail Media you deserve a NSW Tourism award (Sponsorship) for promoting Sydney so brilliantly, I would be there if I wasn't committed to going to the Americas Cup in Barcelona (October) Watching great sailing is the icing on the cake.

What a great series of racing congratulations to all competitors. The Sail Media coverage was first class this year, thanks for all your efforts from UK.

Thanks Sail Media - you are the very best

Thanks again great coverage 👍

Congratulations Yandoo👏👏Great coverage filming and commentary. Well done the whole fleet, good to see the international teams giving a good account.

Thanks guys for an entertaining series, great coverage and a great regatta.

Thank you Sail Media for covering a great week and season. It's a joy to watch every week through a UK winter. Sparkling Sydney Harbour at its very best. Cheers all

Great sailing and exciting competition. Best I've seen for years. Nice to finish looking at a lovely Contessa32 I think. Regards from Inverness in Scotland.

Thanks sailmedia, first class as usual.

Stunning coverage of the whole season. Thanks Sail Media

Awesome footage. Thanks sailmedia and congrats to Yandoo & Rags. Great regatta!

Great coverage, looking forward to tomorrow. Whoops, just an hour or so from now.

I’m for the Rag.

What was Andoo thinking with the small rig. 🤔🤦🏾‍♂️

Utterly stupendous performance from the Rag. This is turning out to be one of the best JJ's I've seen. It is so refreshing to hear a commentary from people who know exactly what it is they're talking about and who don't treat their audience like they're a primary school class.

Watching this from Montreal, what a great regatta it is this year. I think Rag and Famish deserve to win with her last two races, so dominant! Even embarrassing for the others. Speed, good starts, great strategy and wind reading. Bravo

Just realised the Black Knight has a different picture on the rig today.

Great reporting, thanks.

A Sail Media European tour? Bring it on! Beers will be waiting.

But why was Andoo on the small rig?

Great coverage again guys. Go The Rag for tomorrow.

Your timing countdown must be really inaccurate if Yandoo was behind the line in race 3

This would've been a good day for the NE harbor course rather than W-L

Seems like somebody left off their thinking caps when they wrote the sailing instructions

Great coverage and banter as always (poor Bucko really does take a beating). Thanks Sail Media!

Indeed super professional coverage. It keeps you on whatching for hours….

Excellent
