An hour and seven minutes before the actual start? Suggestion: put chapters on the timeline. I got mad twice thinking you were trimming the actual race, turns out it was highlights from the previous race!
What the hell is this? Why is no one explaining what is going on and how it will work? Not good.
I am getting fed up with being drenched in Advertising whle waiting for a haphazard series of psedo-sailing. Sail GP is rapidly going downhill.
2 boats made the water for race 1? What a joke
This coverage is a mess. I just want to watch the racing.I have to skim through interviews previous race clips and commentary telling us nothing . Please fix this. Put the fluff in a different YouTube please!!!!
What a bloody joke.Sail GP needs to ensure any course in their schedule has the minerals to deliver by way of conditions. Today was an absolute farce & IMO damaged the Sail GP brand/competition. Reducing an 8 x yacht race to a n’ x 2 x yacht races is just crazy & defeats the purpose of a GP.
Not so exciting watching a "fleet race" of 2 yachts - what a joke series. Bet the rest of the teams are stoked watching that happen on shore.
: SailGP really needs to make serious efforts to ensure the sport stays front and center, not some ridiculous sponsor interests. Choosing New York as a venue is absolutely ridiculous—no practice day because of a cruise ship… Wind conditions affected by skyscrapers… a split regatta because the course was too small to begin with, and ridiculous unfair decision on craning… - And now imagine you’re a sailing fan who’s traveled all the way from another continent just for this!?
WTH, seriously, the model racing in the park lake was better. In all seriousness what if there had only been ONE boat out there?
Should have postponed the race until all boats were in the water. This is no fun to watch, I'm not even going to finish watching it. Do Better!
An absolute joke and the commentators trying like hell to talk up what was patently a disaster, we come to watch fleet racing, I don't even like watching the three boat finals and this was worse. But it's OK the spin will cover it, ridiculous. Get some decent infrastructure people or sail somewhere else.
Joke, poor, damaging the brand.
what a fiasco .... and 2 hours of video with about 20 mins of actual racing .... most is pure click bait .... and no explaination of WHY ..... this event is starting to abuse its own fans ..
Wtf??
If they can't get all the boats in the water then they should not have raced! Unfair to the others.
So, crane issues??
Another clown show in New York
Awesome backdrop ....but my god it's a bit gutting to only see 3 boats out there
the tactical errors from GBR is starting to annoy me
What a load of crap! Americas cup hit it out of the park with the AC40s in Cagliari. Looks like Sail GP is actually trying to push fans away!
