PRADA Cup Day 4 | Full Race Replay | Round Robins

[@pauloalvesdesouza7911]

Best regatta ever. Amazing sailing by the skippers, Luna Rossa paying the price for not having a dedicated tactician onboard, again. Gotta love the AC. Thanks to the organizers for the broadcasting.

[@Mickeysternum245]

Agree, coverage of this race was perfect

[@edwardturner9276]

Totally agree. My Dad sailed AC for UK in 1980. This is the first time I've truly got into AC coverage and it's testament to the epic coverage, digital overlays, commentary, etc- not to mention an epic UK comeback.

Editing and presentation to YT leaves a lot to be desired - it's completely unclear from the video titles what each video is actually covering - like this vid above - its says it covers a whole days racing but there is only one race presented - where exactly in the comp schedule is this?? Who vs whom??

[@stefanschneider3681]

WHAT A RACE! I have watched it 3 times now and will probably watch it THREE MORE TIMES 🤩! That‘s the beauty of this format: All the engineering, planning, building going into these beasts - and at the end it just comes down to a one-on-one matchrace and getting the teamwork perfect!!! Amazing!! Credits to all the teams, but also credit to the footage, really worth getting up 3.00 here in europe and setting up your wife in favor of watching this 😂!

[@dundeedolphin]

Massive thanks to everyone behind the scenes on all teams and to the coverage production team for bringing us this fantastic sporting spectacle. Cheers.

[@weatheranddarkness]

Rita broke 50kt twice on the mark roundings and the split at the last mark was only 1 second! What a race! For those checking in after the live you can skip about two hours forward till they stopped moving the course due to wind shifts. 40kt upwind!

[@conorward4553]

Even with all the incredible technology it’s still clear that the old adage “ get your head out of the boat” still holds true. Giles Scott as tactician, with no other role, is constantly watching the shifts and accurately communicating the info to Ben who uses it brilliantly. Fabulous race!

[@zingarovskij]

Kudos also to the commentators and the format. Great boats, great sailing, great product, great entertainment. Keep rolling!

Great presentation, very knowledgable about the rules and tactics, great graphics too. Both boats made tactical errors but what a race in the end. Goes to show how much a team can change it round.👍

[@java0880]

Truly love the Americas Cup since the 80's - tip my hat to the announcers who've got to make the Prada Cup as exciting as possible - same boats racing each other again and again, and again and again, and again and again. One announce noted how CRITICAL the race was to one team. If 2 of the 3 teams will be in the semi-final, and the 3rd team in the final - where is the drama?

[@deeeeee4140]

So good!! Look at New Zealand shining ❤ this country is awesome hosting these major events during a tough pandemic time

Fantastic coverage of the race. I'm in Spain but feel like I'm all the way in Auckland. Thank you.

[@fraserwhyte7109]

Y yo! Last time, they got the coverage horribly wrong. But this time round, it's amazing to watch it the same day (CET time). Still a long way to go for the Challengers. The development in these new boats is incredibly fast, given INEOS were struggling big time at Christmas time. You can bet there's a lot more to come and American Magic, with a new refit, might ironically benefit the most in terms of adding speed and handling.

[@syndicateproductionstarana4925]

The AC75s are so big you can see them from most high points around the course..north head..bastion point..rangitito.misic point..great central 4 course set up.

Thank you guys for this awesome coverage! Comments, camera shots, interviews of sailors, 'know the rules' etc. all great stuff!

The racing has been great so far. I'm really enjoying AC36. There have been comebacks, close racing, mistakes, huge wind shifts, clever strategy, repeated lead changes and a capsize (about which I'm genuinely sorry - good luck American Magic) and lots to talk about. All this and the Kiwis are still in their shed.

Fair play to Ken, you have taken on board comments from last weekend about not speaking over the boat audio at mark roundings and other key moments, thank you. I almost wish you had spoken during the last windward rounding to give your view on Ineos over0-standing the mark!@ When speaking, your insight is great, thank you. The first 30 mins of this video are very moving, a truly great piece of broadcasting that humanises the American Magic catastrophe.

Very impressive Guys (team Ineos) especially considering the Cunningham issue you had to manage... it must have cost you performance... very close race.. very exciting with all the lead changes... can’t wait to see the next round of updates... fingers crossed there is 10% + still to come... we will need it against NZ.

Agreed. But it is not only the boat speed that makes this team so competitive. The UK boys have proven that they could pull it off in every single race. Despite some errors they made in all races they showed that they were stronger in tactical decision making. You can clearly see that the experience of these two guys Scott and Ben from sailing in the tactical Finn calss for so long is really paying off here.

If Luna Rossa wants any chance in semi-final, the only way is give the helm only to Spithill, Bruni to fly the boat and do tactics but last decision to Spithill. Enough of the two helms, two heads, to different ways of approaching the race.

Why are both the British and Italian not using their respective 'civil ensigns'? but use the 'national flag'? Also the old style of displaying the club burgee on the mainsail would be cool to see.

Just a question, the helicopter flying overhead will it have any effect on the wind direction???

[@redskynights2986]

The wind is an unmovable force no matter how hard you blow. Only another great natural wind force could move the wind direction.

[@smartcatcollarproject5699]

Most likely the pilots have stricts instructions. Cameras with long focal give the impression the helicopter is just above the boats, while it's more than 100 meters away.

[@gav2759]

Not sure Ben was particularly comfortable with the champagne celebration. This is not the prize his eye is on. They are in the qualifying cup final and will start at o-o vs a team with more racing under their belt. As for the semi final, It starts at 0-0 too, with one of the teams failing to win a single point and withdrawing from half of the qualifying races. I can't imagine such a scenario in any other sport.
