The Starboat is the Stradivari of all classes. Very sensitive to the trim, very elegant and very hard to sail. To win a gold star, is still one of the toughest challenges in sailing.
There is more "Sailing" with these boats than there is in the Prada and America's cup! The AC-75's are very fast but to me it's not "sailing" , it's "Foiling"! "Sailing" and "Foiling" are totally different and even though the 75's are ALOT faster for me I prefer the old fashioned "Seamanship" of "Sailing"! mea sententia 🦂
Most skippers
hold the back stays. Ian holds the check. Hard core
Most spot on proper sailing commentary. 💯
'ken-er-der' yeah proper for sure
I love the Star class. Sailed one on Lake Michigan in the 60’s. Fun but wet most of the time. Terry&ThePirates South Florida
Such a close finish! Such awesome competitors!
Bring back the Star. There is no better small keel boat class around. Mix the crewes if they like. Just bring it back.
It is very emotive to see Andrew Simpson in a Race after his tragic Dead.
I love you Robert ..love his sailing and personality
RIP Andrew Simpson, we all lost a great sailor and a great athlete
What happened?

I’m a sailor and Fundamentalist but you don’t get enough credit toward the AC 75 can do and is and will do down the line read my word
Start 5:14
Freeboard and fun- strong inverse relationship
im sure there will be lots of tension as the race progresses
Good commentating and shame on olympic sailing for ditching the Star class
Capt Termite star sailing was never sailing in the first place. They’re so slow and to easy to sail

Silver star dose not mean second at a worlds
What do the crews hike so weird
To get maximum leverage for the maximum amount of time.
They hike as counterbalance and sit on the side of the hull because they are heavy and out of shape.
Steven Bryant Try hiking like that for 10 minutes.They re not out of shape

It looked like the Brits won by half a boat!
💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛
Motorboats all over the racecourse. Why is this allowed. Can't they race without all the escorts?
