I've been watching these streaming through youtube. I come to realise theres actually a few different camera views to choose from.

Brits killed themselves in that one. Splashdown and missed the mark. Atrocious.
Races reduced to 5 legs due to late start.

It's all streamed on youtube. Just bring up the app on the tele and search. Or cast from phone.

Brits so far off the pace they're basically going to have to retire to allow other races to start.
I’m watching on Fox Sports 505

The trim and stability of that Yank boat is ludicrously good, they've really got the whole gig as dialled as you can get compared to the others, ETNZ included.
10 knot of breeze and these guys sailing at 35 knots. Incredible.

Yanks fuck a tack up, miss the mark and drop the race maybe. They were looking sharp and in control till then.
Not so sure they were in control. There was only a narrow lead for most of the race.stunt_cunt wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:09 am Yanks fuck a tack up, miss the mark and drop the race maybe. They were looking sharp and in control till then.

Thing is, it's only going to take ETNZ to drop off the foils and the Yanks will be right back on their ass, even from 600 meters behind.
Looked to me like ETNZ were closing in anyway, Barker thought so too over the radio.Kiwias wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:14 amNot so sure they were in control.

That is what I thought. In fact, they had taken the lead on one or two occasions, only for AM to take it back.Trapper wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:21 amLooked to me like ETNZ were closing in anyway, Barker thought so too over the radio.Kiwias wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:14 amNot so sure they were in control.

They were setting up for their favoured side of the course for the majority of that downwind leg. They were looking pretty good. They missed the mark and had to go where they didn't want to.Kiwias wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:14 amNot so sure they were in control.

Doesnt matter when you splash down and drop 500+ meters though.
1KM behind. Huge error.

Two really even boats and crew though, I like the look of the Yank team.

Brits not making life any easier for themselves. Ainsley making humour from his predicament. Good to know he can still laugh.

Hard to see where the brits go from here. You hope theres something up their sleeves to get them competitive because they're just not in it at all.
2.5KM behind in what is a relatively good performance from the crew says they've just got shit wrong.
Brits make up 1.2 kilometer with a yank mistake.

Brits done by 2.2KM. Time difference immaterial.

Painful barely describes it. Never say never of course but the Brits got it all wrong for sure, theres no escaping it.

Lol, race back on. 3 legs and lead changes of 800 and 500 meters and now only a couple boat lengths in it.

Wow, nice tight finish!
They do that every bloody time ... I have voiced my displeasure so their continued stance on this is just to piss me off.Mr Bungle wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:46 am Good race there, but some shit coverage. Who wants to see smiling kids when the Italians are performing their last jibe? I want to see exactly what they showed of TNZ, hull in relation to water.
I drink and I forget things.
Tell me about it! I woke up and then fell asleep waiting for them to clear the course and so watched it this morning.Trapper wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:39 am Spectator boats all over the course and stopping racing get underway. Good work, wankers.
So the Christmas cup semi finals

Think I'll root for Deano and the Yanks in this one, won't hurt ETNZ to take a beating in the longer run. I'd give it to the Brits but I think they're a lost cause at this stage.
Pretty painful seeing Ainsley and those Brits in that situation, looks like light wind again today so no letup for them.
Surprisingly the lighter wind threw up the most challenging and probably more exciting race of the whole lot. That last race yesterday especially had a bit going on.

Well, better start. Stuffed Ainsley into crashing out. 500 meter lead off the start in shutting the Brits out.
Hardly fair really. Right now Ainsley doesn't give a fuck about course boundaries, just keeping his boat moving.

1.5KM lead to ETNZ at first gate.
