ACWS Cascais - Race Day 2 - Full Replay (Sailing Commentary)

[PhredEn]

Very good coverage, and this is the way sports video is going to be, but more. What I'm looking for is information at my fingertips; it's good having course graphics and boat numbers, but *I* want to control them. I want multiple screens I can refer to, with live vid, course & fleet graphics, background data, boat zoom with data, etc.

This whole thing is a study in information. It might drive your spouse crazy, but active watching, multi-processing is where the world of entertainment is going.

[MAN1UAL2]

WTF???????

Why does the vid description have the spoiler results?????????

hobies are BOSS

RE: KIWIS Those ludicrous gully-bagging, flaming drongos should be banned from competing for any country other than NZ in internation yacht racing.. They are up to the eyes on speed and steroids and have the intellectual capacity of an in-grown toenail. With that said, they sure have the talent and guts to sail very fast. Perhaps if they spent more time with the sacred moist receptacle and less time swilling beer they might resemble humans.

[PhredEn]

@electricslipper Huh? What's that all about?

[electricslipper]

@PhredEn Sorry to confuse you. Check back with me when you have spent some time in the Blue Water....No offense.

[PhredEn]

@electricslipper You couldn't offend me, cause me offence, es. Nor could you confuse me. But having private conversations with yourself here is very odd behaviour.

[electricslipper]

@PhredEn It seems English is not your first language. It not so much about having private conversations with oneself but rather having public conversations with oneself that is a bit off-putting. No offense of course.

really nice

metele colooor

[boatmik]

haha - there is not a single photo of a Korean on the AC website page for their sailing team.

[boatmik]

It is a bit embarrassing when introducing the skippers. Where is the national pride for Korea, China, Sweden, Spain, First Oracle US boat when the skippers all come from some other country. This is just a series between well known international sailors carrying "flags of convenience". Normal people would be waaay more interested if it actually represented some national skill levels and pride.

[PhredEn]

@boatmik Completely agree, boatmik. It's like Formula 1 now: just a lot of expensive machinery with overpaid team members. Who cares, apart from basic interest in technical innovation?

Tribalism still exists on this planet, and 'friendly competition between nations' was how the AC forefathers designed the Deed of Gift. Note that: Deed of Gift; given to succeeding generations to nurture according to their wishes. A great shame.

[cptkirk2007]

That was just amazing, Go New Zealand, Go :-)

[sirswift23]

Even includes swear words...

[MrNickisking]

Why don't we all race rocket ships?

[dgnacra55]

Long way to go before a real 2013 broadcast. Where is the boat speed? Jenny bugs! Had to mute 1/2 to watch.

[lodeftv]

@720 even better!

[Rohojuan]

Great stuff but... the video stops 1:08 before the start and doesn't start again until well up the first leg. I would have really liked to see the start.

[hellstradingpost]

What an exciting race!

[tpartain1]

Wow!

[johnovegas]

video breaks at 14 mins or so WTF. Restarted video several times. Great job just so excited to see this. Defiantly a problem with the video

[EricwithR]

Thanks for making this available here, but one criticism: placing results in the video description is usually considered bad form.

[Jahmohn]

@EricwithR

Completely agree. It was like putting spoilers at the beginning of a good book.

Regardless thank you so much americas cup for making it available like this.
