Love the series and coverage. The sustainability efforts you highlight fall flat. Suggest you acknowledge then do and highlight something (e.g., plant trees; restore some coral or kelp; etc.) to address your massive carbon footprint.
Hello. Thank you all so much for bringing this one design racing to us via the web. I raced for many years in various OD fleets, all over the globe and I do miss it. I would like to suggest that during the live coverage that you all NOT use the simulation tool as much. There were sooooo many instances where the commentator would be giving a play by play of some awesome tack or gybe or crossing...But we all online were watching the BLOODY SIMULATION!! Also, you should really focus more on the mark roundings . This is where the crew leaps into action ...ACTION is the word of the day. See the simulation is nice at times. But one really just needs a quick glimpes and then BACK THE BOATS!! I and my mates were super frustrated to not see so many close crossings and lee bow manouvers. Lastly, at the top mark, the camera would follow the first 2-3 boats instead of really showing ALL the boasts rounding the mark and setting the kite. For example, when Quantum missed the mark and had to do a 360. That was HUGE!! But did we see it...Nooooooo... Anyway, you guys are having a blast so please less computer BS and more wind and sails!!! P.S. You have talked about Newport a 100x, yet you have not ONCE mentioned the dates. I'll check the Fleet website. Cheers.
Just love these highlights!! ❤
