Thanks, mate! I've been watching these every day on holiday in Italy, impossible to watch any action and a bit difficult to follow progress - so this is a useful round-up. Come on Team GB! Would be especially nice to see Luke Patience pip the masters, Belcher & Ryan....
I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying them. Patience could do it but I'm just not sure he's got that winning mentality. He's come second in the Games and several Worlds. But you never know. I reckon our best bets for golds are Giles, Emma Wilson, our 49ers and 470 Women. If we did pull that off that would make for an extraordinarily successful games. First games under new management too so would be a testament to their quality.
Was trying to see highlights from Women’s 470 Race 1 & 2. This seemed all Men’s. NBC Sports App with coverage 11 PM EDT till 4 AM is difficult. FF, RW and Record all disabled. There are long gaps between races, with 20-25 min of watching the ocean, hearing the waves, and hearing the announcer sigh or clear throat occasionally. Anyplace to see full 470 race replays, or, at least, a comprehensive highlight show?
Yeah, unfortunately it would just take too long to do replays for every class. So I focus on one each day. Maybe will have 470 women in a day or two. I'm from the UK so not familiar with NBC. Here we have to pay for Eurosport. Discovery Plus. I dont use the app. On desktop I can watch the replays of the recorded races and "fast forward" (excuse the pun 😉) over the gaps in between races,
Frensham pond! Clubhouse wall was a whos-who of Int Cadet sailors back in the day................ Sailing coverage on BBC is non existent this time, hence me being here, cheers. :-)
Yup, Frensham is the Jamaica of UK sailing. Punches well above its weight. Shame about the BBC coverage. Hopefully this channel gives some taste of what's happening. I'm watching on Discovery but I expect there's a lot less eyeballs on the event as a result of making people pay.
Thanks for the round up of the racing. One thing : Try and speak a little slower and it will be better to understand, specially for the non-native speakers.
Thanks for the tip. Funnily enough someone else said I spoke too slow. Guess it's a trade-off between being boring and being hard to understand. Will take this on board though 👍

@@FastForwardSailing Great to see Giles hitting form after a shaky start, seem to remember that was Ben's way too...!
Thanks !

Cheers mate!
@@FastForwardSailing you’re welcome!
@@FastForwardSailing NZL struggled again in the 1st Race. What do you think after those 2 races ?

Thanks! Too much background audio in the Eurosport broadcast?
Kiwis to smoke it mate. Burling and Tuke as well. It's the year of the Kiwi !
