Race 1, 1 minute warning: 8:45 Race 2, 1 minute warning: 36:45 Race 3, 1 minute warning: 1:04:45

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

Thanks!

[@tobla4029]

great service, keep it, buddy

[@Chris.Davies]

Race 2 is 36:46 Race 3 is 1:04:45. Are you dyslexic with numbers?

[@Trendyflute]

@@Chris.Davies My numbers were correct for the livestream. When they moved the livestream to videos, they edited it down. I have updated my original post.

[@mjride4290]

I would enjoy this much more if we could actually hear the sailors and not the commentators....

[@PaulTomblin]

Why don’t they show Vmg any more? They did at the last Americas Cup, but they haven’t been showing it in SailGP. It really helps figure out who is on the good lines.

[@dulls8475]

Still wish they would use knots instead of dumbing it all down.

[@rogerday6184]

Using anything but knots is just SILLY! Very irritating actually

[@dulls8475]

@@rogerday6184 They are trying to attract viewers from an area that will never watch this stuff. Ultimately they need to keep us amateur sailors and boat lovers interested. Just so annoying. It is bad enough putting up with their fake eco credentials while jetting around the world and transporting these things all over the place.

[@rogerday6184]

@@dulls8475 yeah, I heard all the drivel about km/h being more acceptable…. It’s garbage chasing more folks away than bring new ones in…. Just imagine measuring F1 speeds in knots all of a sardine, it’s NUTS!

[@tobla4029]

so a lot of ignorants around: I AM an sailor but clearly have to say, that knots (and miles) are always have been stupid, only allowed on earth for everything should be SI-units, such as km, kg, etc (comes from basic physics), sorry guys that’s fact

[@jaysparc]

What I love most is the off the mark commentary. It's like they're watching a different race at times.

[@RIPPERTON]

What an awesome sport ! Aliens are impressed.

[@SailGP]

🙌

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

What a day! Good wind, fantastic racing, and a beautiful location!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Crikey the Kiwis were lucky to come back in that last one. Less manoeuvres than anyone else saved them.

[@GlennWhiteside]

Indeed. I think the kiwis have a real problem with their starting. 3 races, 3 lasts across the line. There is something not right with Burling here.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@GlennWhiteside luckily he got off well on day 2.

[@saltyden]

Aaaahhh ! Whoever makes the decisions at the start on the NZ boat needs to pick their game up . but the way they sail to make up time is great.

[@BermudaD]

awesome Sail GP racing in Bermuda this weekend!

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

The “red laser city” intro has some major TRON vibes!

[@brrrogers]

New to this sport. Gotta say I'm loving watching it. It's so exciting. Sending these links to all my F1 mates. 1:02 this rap is a hate crime tho. Can't imagine what exec wrote/approved "racing on water" and thought it was a good lyric.

[@wademacphee3924]

Just had the leg of the tour in halifax NS watched abit from the dartmouth side

[@lindsayparker2965]

What is wrong with GBR? So far off the pace, every regatta.

[@CASABaJA]

Giles Scott is a shit sailor. Hannah Mills should be skipper

[@komisar3937]

Don't feel too bad, my USA team is worse.

[@dougyt261]

It's hard supporting gbr hopefully they are keeping all the wins for Americas cup

[@fdenhertog]

Let's face it, Scott is at the helm because of his position on the Americas cup boat. When Ainslie wins the AC because of it, he probably could not care less about SailGP results. From an entertainment perspective (which is the most important thing in sports) it should have been Hannah Mills.

[@linsaypatterson3182]

Well done Tom!

[@braydeny]

Taking this off youtube in some countries was tragic for the brand.

[@luciustarquiniuspriscus1408]

This competition could use a bit more match racing. Maybe add a playoff format at some point.

[@robertmariu6783]

Can't believe how NZ are so bad on the starts!!

[@GlennWhiteside]

Shockers eh?! Burling needs a lot of work here

[@EraserNZ]

If you look at the starts alot of the time they are been locked down by Switzerland at the start, Switzerland screwed themselves in race 1 just to push nz way out wide. race 2 was fine and race 3 Switzerland was there again it screw nz again, not alot you can do when a team is following you around.

[@Shrimpycus]

Why was Denmark allowed to luff that far and force Australia off at the end of the third race (1:15:56)? I thought they weren't allowed to luff higher than their proper course?

[@MAdDyMatt]

Seriously need this as a video game 🎮

[@Shrimpycus]

There's a couple of games out or in open beta, such as AC Sailing (yes I know that is AC, but at least foiling) and Hydrofoil Generation (actually has Sail GP content)

[@willscott2409]

Team GB hopeless.... did well not to come last in every race

[@ianstewart6021]

They need to be a bit more aggressive. COME ON Team GB!

[@willscott2409]

@@ianstewart6021 Seems obvious to me that in these races you've gotta get a good start... Get up wind of the others and hit the line flying!... not in the middle of the pack at half speed.

[@2011Matz]

Not clear on Denmark luffing. Weren't they sailing above thier course?

[@tsfullerton]

Rocketing-Roo's.

[@afk218]

Can someone explain to me at 46:11 why AUS have the right of way?

[@tsfullerton]

They tacked from port to starboard. Starboard boat has right-of-way. Cheers.

[@wolfganggaerber4045]

More penaltys- for the Canadians 😂

[@barissuyabatmaz]

The video volume is too low.

[@jeffcondell]

No spare Wings! Ridiculous!!

[@AngusMcIntyre]

It might also have damagte the hull

[@AngusMcIntyre]

Another embarrassing day to be British 😢

[@keremsify]

1. can we not call new zealand the black foils? 2. spain / france / denmark / germany / spain / gbr what's wrong with you? :) ok this was after the 1st round .. let's see what happens ..

[@weatheranddarkness]

It sounds like they've decided to give their team a name outside of just being NZ. The team logo is changed in the standings charts.

[@idenhlm]

All teams are referred to by nationality, no need for pretense or jargon.

[@jesseharris6466]

As a new spectator, the commentators need to stop yelling and don't need to fill up the entire race with their babbling. Lemme hear more of the on board crew radios.

[@markmessner4554]

Doesn’t matter if USA is in the race or not….they’d be in last place anyway

[@SVAdarris]

can you 3 keep quiet for more than 2 seconds.? It''s like listening to children yelling . please be quiet

[@rogerday6184]

Agreed!

[@williambremner9022]

Agreed! Especially the uber-annoying, jock-babbling American commentator. His voice and almost total lack of sailing knowledge just rub me sooooo much the wrong way. He should be commentating NFL, not yacht racing. Good god make him shut up please!!!

[@jesseharris6466]

@SailGP. Yeah, yelling and constantly jabbing is wild. Lemme hear the crews more. I like their enthusiasm and seem very knowledgeable tho.

[@Chris.Davies]

Great racing, as always (!!) but on what planet does showing tenths of a klick per hour make any sense at all? That is just plain crazy. Tenths of klicks are utterly meaningless, and showing them actually degrades our (already limited!) ability to discern speeds. Is there no one at SailGP who understand Human/Computer Interactions (HCI) ???? The thing we need is VMG - the one and ONLY speed which counts in yachting. And yet you continue to defy the sport's standard for measuring speed.

[@jaysparc]

Why do the show ride height? what a useless stat. How about showing the distance between the competitors like a normal race. SAILGP constantly drops the ball on almost everything.,

[@rogerday6184]

Please stop using km/h. Please!

[@claytoncandy640]

? Why Very few comprehend knots, and only US and GB still use Mp/h

[@NoWheyHombre]

Just take kph, divide by two in your head, and that is (roughly) your knots. Enjoy the race

[@thaipassportbro]

Another year of pathetic sound mixing quality.

[@tztz1949]

Lost me at the rap trash intro!

[@ufcplayer2444]

Very sad and impackting mistake from Germany there 😭🥲

[@patrickplug7460]

Switzerland 🥱🥱🥱. Nothing to show for. Same story year after year. Even with Nathan Outteridge at the helm. They seem content to finish 8th or 9th every single time. Simply put, this team is not worthy of the SailGP series and should be sent back to it’s Club Nautique in posh Cologny on the shores of Lake Geneva.
