America's Cup: The Big One
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Every America’s Cup match is special, but from this day forwards every one is unmissable. After winning the only race of the day yesterday, Emirates Team New Zealand were on match point, 6:3 just one race away from being able to lift the oldest trophy in international sport above their heads. Matt Sheahan talks to regatta director Iain Murray about the pressure and the event and chews the fat with INEOS Team UK crew member and expert commentator Freddie Carr. PLUS our regular wrap of the day.
Matt, your commentary with those in the know and the behind the scenes looks added a great dimension to the cup coverage.
Iain Murray and his team did a great job. I didn't hear any real complaints from any of the teams. He delivered the memorable final race course he (and everyone) wanted. Well done for giving him a chance to chat. Thank you for all your work during the competition. Watching from Panama there were few options other than UA-cam and your coverage made the racing all the more enjoyable. Cheers a lot. 😂
Will miss your updates. Especially the ones with Freddie Carr ..
I think TNZ deserve more praise for ingenuity in manoeuvres, like the one legged JK but also many other more subtle manoeuvres.
Thanks for your entertaining dispatches from the front. Chats with Freddie a bonus. Hope to catch your reports again on the next go round ... when and where that is. Cheers.
A quick boat doesn't sail its self ....Team NZ were just starting to get to grips with sailing that boat against competition having to sail against their chase boat for months ... They are the best team there on the boat and the shore staff
Great job with the coverage.
Cheers a lot Matt for your coverage, even after watching the races live I've looked forward to your coverage the next day, along with your chats with Freddie
Have really enjoyed all of your AC coverage....
Thanks for the coverage,good work fellas.
Cheers a lot!
Would have loved to see a race in higher wind speeds
Same with me bro, I feel it would be even more dominant for team nz
👍yes...the event is too short in order to show the boats in full range of conditions and to give the teams enough time to improve in racing 'environment' ….I think, this America's Cup should be similar to F1 circus.. having a number of regattas thru out the year in different parts of the world....maybe 2 years of development and then 1 year of racing around the world, with the world champions ( America's Cup winner) announced at the end of the racing year!!!
Autumn weather is settled. Spring, October, November would have more wind.
@@bluejaystudio2029 it is my understanding that there was a series of races scheduled with locations being Italy and the UK before COVID struck. I agree a series like F1 would be great and show the true strength of the teams
In the end New Zealand out designed, out thought and out sailed the opposition. The start and first beat on that last race was perfect match racing from ETNZ. They should put that in every training course for would-be match racers.
Top coverage.
I still think that most of the coverage of the America's Cup commentaries were biased. The contenders were worthy, but little was mentioned about the sheer hard graft, the commitment, the teamwork and the hospitality that the Kiwis showed. Their help on American Magic and Grant Dalton saying 'IF you need it, its yours' was the epitome of sportsmanship and selflessness. No mention anywhere.... next time, I hope we get better and unbiased commentators.
Thanks for your videos I really liked them, and your wisdom and delivery thereof.
Thanks again come again soon.
♥️👋
Freddie's comments about the current format of racing are spot on: 25min stadium match racing with ultra fast high-tech boats is captivating to the sporting lover who may only have a casual interest in sailing. 2hr offshore races are less appealing. Source: I am the target market.
So all the smack talk is over and done with. Nice. And the kiwis packed the AC away again. Well done ETNZ! Thanks for your coverage and insights Matt. Cheers.
Grazie Prada
Can we have another couple (or 3) of friendly races this weekend before they mothball the boats? Hopefully on "C" in stronger winds?🥝🥝🙏
Keep coming home from work hoping for some ac racing, me not happy🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻😭

Been watching 2017s Bermuda racing, will go back to 2021s soon hehe
Such valuable interviews; thank you!
Matt, Great stuff from you all through the AC . Thanks. Malcolm WSC
Great job PlanetSail, your broadcasts rocked and I loved the "company car"
Great stuff.
Thanks for you insight .
Etnz was indeed 3~5 knots faster in the end .
BMW nice bike to ..
Maybe Ian Murray & Jimmy can get together to organise an Australian campaign. If you remember in 1987, in Perth, when New Zealand were knocked of the challenger series. Normally the defeated challengers would support the winner of the challenger series. Instead of supporting Dennis Conners Stars & Strips, winner of the challenger series, new Zealand supported Australia. The reason was it was better to keep the cup in the Southern Hemisphere. But all for nought. A second antipodean campaign would support New Zealand’s retention of the cup on the next cup cycle when these boats are more figured out. Where’s the money in Australia.
Tom Slingsby tried to get an Aussie challenge up and running for this cup cycle but no one was prepared to get their wallet out.
@@thepunishernzl Lessons learned would be go back to how the Kiwis did it from the start. Australia did it first by winning the cup from the Americans but unfortunately didn't follow through when the interest was high at the time. On the other hand, NZ carried on the interest and now the Cup is built into the Kiwi's DNA similar to the All Blacks. Both codes well respected by most Kiwis. I think the key is, get your local government to partially fund a challenge, and then appeal to the ordinary Australians for support. BTW don't steal our Glenn Ashby, he is ours!
I was quietly hoping for a post-cup 'high wind' series. Would have been EPIC.
"I reckon Prada win the first race today." Thanks for coming Ineos...
It's a pity this was an infrequent La Nina summer weather pattern up in the Pacific, with all of these onshore easterlies. Most summers we have an El Nino effect of various strengths, which provides regular sou-westerlies like clockwork in the afternoon and would have seen Course C come alive on a daily basis.
Cheers a lot guys.
Great channel Matt. Would be good to hear your thoughts on what you do with an AC75 after the AC. What will happen to the boats now that we know they won't be competitive for any future races?
Love your honesty, even when your prediction are totally wrong😊
Although at the beginning of this Series the score card looked even, we could see ETNZ had the potential to be very quick. This last race was decisive from the Start. A great way to win the all omportant 7th point.
@PlanetSail... Short races are a really bad deal for the sponsors. It is hard to justify dropping a couple of million on sponsoring an America's Cup team to your board of directors when the race is only one hour long. It is particularly a bad deal for the sponsors of the defenders of the cup as there is no visibility of your sponsor's brand during the challengers series. In total, ETNZ got about nine hours of racing visibility for their key sponsors during the America cup.
Team NZ had 5 million sponsors even jobless ones. Lol
Good they won then otherwise there would be 5 million taxpayers looking for a refund
@@user-oe2ti1fb8r was there ever any doubt lol
Ps. Oh we did get a refund before and after they won it's called ACC 🤣
@@jordanclark8508 says it all really
It would be great to have some more racing. Perhaps NZ etc... could organise some exhibition races. Fantastic
Congrats Planet Sail. Consistently the best interviews, insights and now wrap up by anyone. Whoever produces the pre/post conferences needs some serious help, Bruno is Trouble and it's just a painful production for everyone. While I'm at it, the Kiwi commentator (I'm a kiwi) on the 'Official' live stream is embarrassment to not only sailing but humanity in general.
Throughout this regatta I have said this is THE best commentary above all others (exception would of course be the in depth analyses from NZ TV1 contribution) but I fail to see how one can make a bold predicament as the next race going to LR? Based on what? The "if" factor? But to do so ur more likely basing ur experienced opinion on ur feelings? No disrespect but that's hardly a fact one can stand by as the facts are so much evident when the NZ team had the worst possible situation at the worst time but with the skill and intimate knowledge of there yacht, they pulled off the impossible to get back on there foils, without any boundary violations to do so, then maintain that delicate position to hold steady under extreme desperation, to run down LR, who had an unassailable lead but had certainly not managed there yacht to stay up and consequently bottomed out. And here's where ALL the expert commentators b4 and during the race got egg on there face and only lauded LR when they were self humiliated by there lack of experience to re foil and get back into the game. With almost a full length of a leg ahead, approx. 4-5 minutes head start, they were run down and beaten by a team who not only stayed focused after one of a few to many bad judgement calls. If LR was so good with a yacht that was according to all those experts, equal if not BETTER to win the Americas Cup from the kiwi's then y the hell didn't they. Now, the resulting humiliation has befallen the LR supporting commentators they have now gone on this regurgitated spin the kiwi's won because there yacht was faster! Not because the kiwi's were the better sailors or they read the wind shifts better or they were so confident of the yacht's capabilities, no! It's just laughable but not surprising they wanted LR to win, period!
Kuz it's only sport not life and death...... chillax ow. Lmao
LR had by far the best sailing team, they made a miracle by beating TNZ three times, ask yourself how come your opinion differs so much from all the 'experts' maybe cause they're experts? LoL Anyway chill out man, you won the cup what else you want, really?
@@dogaet hard to say by far. LRPP higher sailing mode suited the starts and they sailed extremely well with their experience from previous races, and in the wind range that least disadvantaged LRPP. ETNZ adjusted and learnt from each race, and used their faster boat to effect. But they also sailed extremely well to capture the final races and pick their way and the winds across the course with innovative manouvres, including that textbook last race. It would have been exxiting to see a 20 knot race with boats going near 60 knots but alas. The next cup perhaps.
hehe nice interview with the CEO of the event/Race Official.
How about cheers big ears?
When he says mainstream appeal is where the sport’s at, he’s taking about his own income. As a sport, this AC has the fewest challengers ever (outside DOG events). Massive fail, 100% attributable to commercialisation.
Thanks for the feed back. 👍
Apologies for earning a living.
Can a team sail 18km and never make a mistake or find themselves compromised at some point.
Not for the first time, the experts get it wrong!!
Amazing that a small country has so many expert sailors, designers and boat builders, not forgetting that after one of the first times they won the cup, most of that cohort went off to sail for the Italians and won it again. Got to say that it was riveting watching the virtual eye here in Australia, so many "lost" afternoons.
They defected to the Switz team Alinghi the barsquitoes. Lol
@@jordanclark8508 Right, I knew it was some damn "Furriners". I think some may have been on Oracle too, but I'm not sure. It's all professional now, no loyalty, except to the biggest cheque book, but that's the nature of professional sport. Sadly, you have to make hay while the sun shines, because the "window" is narrow, There no 50 year old grinders going round.
@@sandymacpherson9400 Yeah I don't blame Russell and Brad you gotta make that moolah if it smacks you in the face or you litterally miss the boat in this game. Hopefully Australia stop hiding and come out to play in 4 years time sign up Jimmy and Glen with a couple of Olympic swimmers on the grinders and Bob your uncle live coverage everyday of racing.
@@jordanclark8508 So long as they don't dope test the grinders, you could probably sign any number of burly Russians or Chinese, if you were prepared to create a new crew position for a translator, but it's starting to get a little cumbersome around this point.
They went to Alinghi, a Swiss team... and won it again. Before losing it in Valencia.
ETNZ’s chief designer is a Brit. Ex McLaren F1 team, then Alinghi, before ETNZ). Though he seems pretty content to stop down in NZ now!
If ever there was a bias to one team, this clip says it all. Impartial reporting? Yeah right!
enjoyed your channel, however there was another yacht out there yesterday apart from LRPP. And Burling is 2 from 2. Spithill 0 from 2. In respect of the starts Spithill had the upper hand with LR higher mode. It made no sense for TNZ to engage. Burling was on a hiding to nothing. Hence race 10s strategy to split and protect the right. The reverse was evident at Bermuda when the kiwi boat had a height advantage, and Spithills starts looked decidedly average.
I think etnz would hit 60 knots easy if winds was up..
They did during practice
@@creamcheese7845indeed they did.. ashame we didn't see it live coverage tho... what a spectacle that would be.
Well this aged well...
Wrong lol
Both wrong! :-D
