What a race. Best ever. Thanks heaps to the commentary team for all they add to these races for us at a distance. Glued to the screen from down here in NZ.
I'm glad to see someone has a positive thing to say about the commentators. Wading through all the negativity in every race video, I thought I was the only one who appreciated their commentary.
I'm gobsmacked by some of the angles GB was sailing at points, holy hell! That boat has some uncanny potential! Gilles will probably have some coaching to do on gauging overlaps from the helm's position. Really good sailing, but making the push before the overlap was enough to draw any of the penalties.
Great Racing!!! It was so awesome to see LR doing such high speeds. Oh wait... no, that's right. They took the camera off the most intense point of the course so we didn't get to see it.
the wind was beyond the limit the whole time, precisely in those ten minutes in which the luna rossa breaks the sail the wind returns to the permitted limits so as to give victory without competing and then coincidentally the wind returns beyond the limits for more than half an hour! Were they waiting for another luna rossa problem?!🤮
After winning one for free ... And I'm still curious to know about the only moment in which the wind was suddenly ok, exactly when Luna Rossa had a technical problem.
@@mrlitespeed we will see who has the raw speed, who has the better maneuvers, what is certain is that you will whine about the bad bad ugly umpire 😂 👋
Lol you realise AC monetise their videos right? It's not the advertisers fault. Producing the video costs money. You aren't entitled to it for free. If you don't like ads then buy premium and support AC that way.
It is very annoying that the recording continues to play silently in the background while the commercial plays. UA-cam's timing of the commercials at the moments of high viewer engagement is very annoying: I'm having to play back every so often to see the crucial moments trying not to get a glimpse of 30 seconds "into the future". To youtube (they're not listening, but I just need to vent): I'd gladly watch some comercials in order to fund the whole thing, but this is making me think about ad blockers...
its hard for me to get my head around the fact, that the whole boat, including the people on bord, the tall mast and especially the wind pressure in the huge sail is leaning and riding only on that one small foil all the time without tipping over to either stern or bow or port and starboat😲
Finalmente una partenza e gara aggressiva dopo la sfortuna......l'unico modo di battere Ben Ainslei é mettergli pressione e chi meglio di Spithill......si sentono le voci nervose degli inglesi continuando a chiamare penalità.......forse non sanno cosa é il match race
like at 6:40 min. I`d love to have those little arrows indicating the wind speed and -direction all the time during the race on the screen. Would be easier to understand the maneuvers.
Great race, just like with F1, can we not have crowd shots during the race please? Nothing more infuriating than having a close race with so many critical moments and the director thinks that we want to see people waving their hands and cheering. Other than that, great footage guys!
What a race, akin to watching Moto GP racing 🙌 By the way, pathetic to hear Ben whining later on the not-given penalty on the pre-start when Inneos was so clearly off its due course trying to ram Luna Rossa.
Deserved win for Luna Rossa. Britannia should give up the point. Winnig the point without racing on finals is just simply not fair. But they do not have balls to do something like that. Anyway, justice won.
It's literally decided by a computer program if they meet the wind limits, everyone knows the wind limits and they were decided and agreed upon years ago, so yeah it's definitely just your impression. If anything Italians got lucky to not get a single penalty in race 4, so it balances out a bit with how unlucky they got in race 3 :D
@@blaztrik Yeah, i mean ok, we know that there is a software that decide if you can race or not. But there were same condition in the race 2. I know that the race committee is Anglo-Saxon and they do not likes the Italians, but i'd like to keep this competition clean and fair.
@@zidermakesispooky Nah, it was the best part of the race. Even the English was impressed of the move. But If you are to scary to race you probably shouldn't race at all.
The commentary is very basic. It would have been worth elaborating on the strategies and the penalties. Instead zero, they essentially say what a non-expert would be able to say just by having a general look. Americas cup deserves a bit of skills in the commentary.
GB almost caused a collision Vs Alinghi and are they complaining today of what? The commentators are British and only speak English and cannot interview properly french, german, spanish or italian crew,attendants....the unpires decide to shorten race if GB leads and to lenghten it when behind; and waiting for Luna to be on the foils to start the race makes my suspicions arise.
Daft comment. Many classes would have racing abandoned in 20+ knots. Boats break and people die when you race in excessive wind, whether it's AC75s or small keelboats. (25 years of day keelboat racing, Solent)
@@jameslittlewood7821 not true. First, AC75 wind limit is 21.5kn average (after applying a correction for the current). Second, that's pretty similar to most out-and-out racing classes in my experience. If I take Cowes Week as an example, they will progressively cancel classes depending on seaworthiness between 20 and 30 knots. The "dayboat" classes are first on the chopping block. Our class, for instance (Darings) have no inbuilt buoyancy, no guardrails, no reefing. That's the same for Etchells, Dragons, and most of the other dayboat classes. When you start getting buoyancy, coaming, reefing, headsail changes, guardrails etc. the boats can race in more wind, often up to 30 kn. These classes are often more heavily built, either for offshore racing or capable of blue-water cruising. But I know of very little inshore racing that will deliberately start above that. We've all been racing in more, and survived in more, but race officers shouldn't be deliberately starting in wind conditions much different from what I've outlined here. When it happens it's usually unexpected or done in error. Whatever the SIs say about personal responsibility of skippers and crews, the regatta organisers also need sizeable liability insurance policies as they have an amount of responsibility for safe racing. Bottom line: it depends on the boat, and 21.5 kn is not unusual.
Agree, have been throughout prelim and LV round robin. Any other boat playing games in the start box it’s called aggression, if Ineos do it’s called bullying.
IMHO, I wonder if umpires ripped off Britannia... maybe even twice, Luna Rossa should have had a penalty...... There should have been a penalty to Luna Rossa on the first upwind leg when Britannia was leeward boat and Luna Rossa did not keep clear 🤔
@@AlessandroMercante95 Still, windward boat has to give way .... but hard to see from youtube Well, umpires have clear metrics so I guess they are correct! Anyways,. best race so far of the LVC 😍 Congrats to all Italians, WOW!
This was disgusting. Are you listening, AC race committee? You didn't pass the wind sampling for 90 minutes and magically you did when LR had their issue, and then for race 2 again several minutes of waiting. What a chance! These rules are total shit. The wind was horrible yesterday and you decided to race anyway, and the wind was horrible today as well but for the opposite reasons and still you put the teams in trouble. And LR has to fight against the bad rules and bad luck too, but guess what, you are just making us even stronger and you and Ineos deserve that defeat in race 2!
It's a development class with rules on what conditions racing will occur. The committee can't change the rules now just because 1 boat is not designed as well for a condition within the range. Breakages happen, it's unfortunate but lots of boats can handle those conditions fine, the fault only lies with LR so the RC are not allowed to postpone. "LR had to fight against bad rules" lol. Not sure what the umpire was looking at prestart but it can't have been at the slam-dunk penalty on LR. Ineos are right to feel robbed, they sailed faster, cleaner and won the start.
@@alexsmallwood9895 are you kidding me? There was no intersection of the squares so no penalty. Stop with your biased BS. LR sailed with a bigger mainsail than the first one that broke and was slower in the upwind legs because of that and still managed to secure the win

The engineers are 80% of the result anyway. If they mess up their FEA and build a part too light then they better be penalised in the results. 😂
you wouldnt be complaining if it was the other way round.
Can they give up a point?
Hopefully this will quiet the naysayers. Superb racing!
Most of the people complaining have no idea of sailing and are either not involved or losing.
Is it just my impression or the race committee was a "bit" unfair with the Italians? Just asking.
It's the rules, they have to be consistent. My impression was the opposite as the umpires ignored the protests from Inios.
