Luna Rossa Sails look so much nicer in grey rather than black. I know it's anal, but there's not much more to comment on these boats and the racing. And that's the 3rd time in a row that Jimmy Spithill has got a penalty for the boat he is helming.....

[@randymcmeekin1955]

I really do not understand the penalty on leg 5. TNZ tacked way too close, PRPP had to bear away to avoid a collision. I thought the penalty should have gone to the kiwis for tacking too close.

[@TwinnyAhiao]

@@randymcmeekin1955 That's why cameras are everywhere to spot those mistakes wether team nz or Parada.

[@matthewleet9882]

New Zealand had the right of way ,so Luna Rossa was to close. All the penalties were following to close. So there is a protective bubble around each boat and for safety reasons (a collision) the other boat cannot encroach. Thumbs up for Prada for taking it to the edge. Unfortunately, they crossed the line hence the penalties.

[@jameslittle8891]

Even for the first 5 legs, bit of an over stand at the 4th mark made it unnecessarily close. When ETNZ just sailed to VMG (as Outerridge says on comms) instead of covering on the last leg, they had huge pace, you can see the boat twitching and the lead meters growing.

So basically in the second penalty italy try to engage from below and force a tak, but get too close to TNZ. In the third pen TNZ engage italy from below (out of diamond this time) and proceed to luff till enter the diamond, Luna Rossa has to keep clear and when she finally tak is already late and get the pen, correct? How many seconds have the upwind boat to tak once TNZ establish the engage from below? With traditional sailing boat everything is slower and you can have ...what? 3 seconds before the other have to react? what about here? It looks very fast to my naive eyes

[@sweetwater5030]

Now that’s boat racing!

[@stespin]

Just an uneducated question: how does one determine who has "the right of way"? Ahead vs Behind? Upwind vs Downwind? Because it seems to me Luna Rossa was always the one getting penalties regardless of the situation.

[@asterixdogmatix1073]

Basically the boat on starboard (with wind coming over right hand side) has right of way. Also the windward boat needs to keep clear of the leeward boat.

[@GCKiaOra]

To remove sailing jargon, Left gives way to Right and Upwind gives way to Downwind

[@brettmciver432]

Kiwis had right of way then.wind was coming over their right side

[@Gottenhimfella]

That’s because there is no simple answer to your question. It depends on multiple factors in any situation, and that is what makes it difficult and interesting. The Rules are nevertheless carefully written and have evolved in such a way that there is virtually always only one right answer to every situation. I don’t think there were any penalties today which a reasonable coach would take issue with.

[@Gottenhimfella]

Actually on rewatching, I think the second Is controversial. I would love to see a clip from the umpires explaining it, and giving their honest opinion with further analysis and the luxury of no time pressure as to whether they still considered it valid.

I'm loving this banter. I thought it was only reserved for an Allblacks loss - of course everyone has an opinion when their team "looses". With sailing there are many vagaries that can make a difference, the wind, sea, tide etc. That know one has control over. As the commentators alluded to (who generally are quite balanced) mentioned the "sea state" a lot. And lets not forget, NZ forfeited sailing in their own back yard by taking it off shore to a neutral area, that is risky to me. No one knows anything until the end of the Americas cup. Nor sure what you all think, but I love the mono hulls over the cats

[@panter82]

I do not get the rules. Emirates cut the way of Luna Rossa and Luna Rossa get the penalty. When Luna ROssa did exactly the same, they got the penalty again.

Very small mistakes apart from the last one where LR should have tacked away earlier. It really comes down to the umpires giving penalties for pretty tiny diamond infringements. However LR got 1 penalty, got behind NZL more than 400m, then came back with a vengeance, overtook NZL, took another penalty, overtook NZL again and took again the final penalty that put an end to the regatta. Who was faster today?

Sono più lenti ma lo sapevano anche prima… dai primi incroci nei mesi scorsi nelle prove in acqua.

[@fernandosousa4657]

Who was faster today? The boat crossing the finish line first.Obviously. Spithill is the Max Vesrpatten of sailing. Good, but not the best. Takes too many unmanageable risks, the kind that if it works you are a hero, if it does not you are a fool. I think he has fallen into the fools column one too many times. I have followed AC racing for decades and that boy makes some highly questionable decisions at the most inopportune times. At this level you either are a complete skipper ( and in my humble there is only one complete skipper: Peter Burling ) or you will be tasting dirty air when the chips are down. If you look at Burling's face and body language you see a skipper who knows what is ahead and has already planned for that event. Every other skipper is sitting at the edge of his knowledge base, trying to make the best "guess". The difference between Team New Zealand and the others is simple. The other teams are racing against TNZ .TNZ races against itself. To deny what you have seen with your own eyes and blame the penalties for LR's shortcomings in their race planning and execution while negating TNZ's record setting performance in disingenuous at best. Surely, without the penalties this would have been a very closer race and LR could have very well won it but, this is something we will never know since the race is OVER and already on the books . TNZ won.Spithill performed the greatest comeback in sailing history according to many. Regardless of what is said and done and all the allegations of cheating on the part of Team Oracle,the political pressures of not losing the "Americas Cup" at home - unthinkable - and all conspiracy theories surrounding that event... it is OVER. The moment is gone. Since that day way back in 2013, Mr, Spithill still has not (imho) shed the weight of that "comeback" and is racing a ghost while being schooled by Burling & Co over and over again. May the winds be in his favor...finally.

[@brettmciver432]

Was luna Rosa faster or were the kiwis using this preliminary race as a hard practice and letting them past , that is the question.

468m apart. Please tell me if this is regarded as close, what constitutes an easy win?

[@lilymartini6071]

with no penalty would finish like last one with 2 km distance

Would like to see the umpires debrief.

[@antoniodamico2564]

umpires: wtf have you done... too late to change mind...

[@Dark_knight1980]

Sounded one sided to me no support to team nz always throwing negative comments to nz close race 400 mtr distance doesn't sound close lol😂

[@shaun0b1]

LR are so fast in those conditions. It seems that they could have sailed around ETNZ. ETNZ have a lot to do before the finals. LR, USA and Ineos will be match hardened come the finals.

[@nzriot]

Wow, if this is anything to go by, Italy are going to be the challengers for the America's Cup once again. They were penalized 3 times in this grand final race though, or they probably should have won. New Zealand had a reasonably healthy lead after Italy were penalized before the start line, but Italy kept chipping away at it well. I'd actually book Italy as favorites. to take both cups.

[@petestringer5283]

Fortunately there were cheeseburger barriers in place to safeguard traffic.

[@lockk132]

Based on today's efforts etnz may well be handing over the cup.I think both Luna Rossa and America have faster yachts

[@SoaaJr]

thats probably why they won the final🤔🤦🏼

[@AidanCartwright-l3w]

Then at must explain as to why New Zealand won the final?

19:34 what happened here? This is where LR closed the gap. Was It a mistake made by the crew or a big difference in VMG boat performance?

[@leandromaineri5598]

Ottimo ragazzi, i kiwi non dormiranno sonni tranquilli, Avanti così

The Luna Rosa play dirty at that final race.ETNZ win.❤❤

[@georgebamforth7372]

bring back 12m yachts, much better racing.

[@marcovannicola]

Purtroppo i nostri ragazzi stanno soffrendo gli avversari e ciò è seccante....le penalità prese in gara dicono tutto.

[@andreav.8206]

Mi spiegate i motivi delle penalizzazioni??scusate mi appassiono ogni volta ,ma non sono tanto ferrato

[@dbooth2008]

@@andreav.8206 First penalty in the pre start was a port/starboard infringement. Kiwis did a dial down an ITA didn’t keep clear. Second penalty was the boat coming from behind has to keep clear before establishing the overlap. Third penalty was a windward/leeward infringement. Kiwis was the leeward boat with overlap and ITA had to keep clear.

[@andreav.8206]

@@dbooth2008 thank you

[@marcovannicola]

In pratica le regole del match race (gara a 2),prevedono un corpo a corpo,se vogliamo dire,allo scopo di togliere il vento all' avversario o altresì indurlo a sbagliare il controllo della barca e a non rispettare il diritto di rotta,o magari non rispettare le giuste tra le barche. E purtroppo con una barca veloce come Luna Rossa è molto facile sbagliare..... ma' se restiamo concentrati e regatiamo come sappiamo fare i Kiwi ce li mangiamo nella macedonia 😂😂😂😂

[@MyChannel-ml3ft]

Too many mistakes...wake up Luna Rossa! 🇮🇹 🔴

[@FulvioGiordano]

What they could do?? If judges doesn’t do nothing about the errors… Disgusting 🤢

Una pregunta a qué velocidad se empiezan a elevar del agua los veleros

[@cvanscho]

The audio track is still way to mixed and jumbled. Remove the "commentators" completely (they don't have anything useful to add, except for announcing penalties, lets be honest), and we'll have a much better show.

[@michaela4024]

Wow we actually had a dog fight on leg five not like all the other races where the boat that wins the start pulls away and is never headed.

[@robertcollins403]

Jimmy and the Luna Rosa are playing dirty. Luna Rosa lose two times by ETNZ...... Jimmy can't beat Burling and Nathan of ETNZ. Well done boys.❤❤❤❤❤❤

What are the commentators on ? So many errors ! They do not know what is a windward or leeward boat. Doug Ringholt Yarrawonga Victoria

[@marcsantapau86]

je ne comprends pas les règles des pénalités et comment celles ci sont appliquées. ceux qui naviguent sur tribord prioritaire de ceux de bâbord.Ok. la dernière prise par Luna Rossa me parait bizarre. si nz continuait droit alors LR pouvait coupé derriere. Mais Nz vire babord juste devant et pour les eviter LR sert au prêt ou est le problème ? C'est quoi la conséquence (la sanction) d'une pénalité ?

[@snorttroll4379]

how are the foils controlling the flying height?

[@davidsat24]

Come on Jimmy, too many penalties.

[@nevillekidd97]

To the Luna Rossa fans.....that was unfortunate, but silly. I watched with a European guy who sails. He called the penalties as they happened saying Jimmie was silly not moving sooner. For those of you that think such a small Country like NZ with only $5million people and no money can influence anyone on the World stage via 'influence' ...THANKS! Be the first time ever in World history for us

[@StefanoChinca]

Just enjoy the regata and cheer for your team. Don't be bothered by silly comments. You're a small yet big country and there's nothing you'd have to learn (especially from us Italians) in terms of sporting culture. Good luck ;-)
