The America's Cup World Series has reached Plymouth, England. Local boatbuilder Will Stirling compares his traditional handcrafted boats to the AC45 and goes onboard with Green Comm for a speedtrial. We meet the skippers at a press conference and go behind the scenes with the LiveLine team during a fleet race in extreme conditions.
Cont'd: I would rather have fewer scenes that I have time to absorb than twice as many that I cannot. REMEMBER MANY OF THE FANS ARE NOT, REPEAT, NOT YOUNG HIGH SPEED GRAPHIC GAME PLAYERS! WE ENJOY THE NEW BOATS AND INFO BUT PLEASE STOP THE FLASHING SCENES AND LET US ENJOY ABSORBING A SCENE OR HIGHLIGHT FULLY.
enough yelling, thanks for listing and getting it to this level.

Agree the sound balance is bad. Get an older person that has NOT listened to very loud rock music to listen and help you balance it.
Also the scene sequences are cut shout, in a capsize or near miss one wants to see it through to the splash or the recovery. It is very irritating when the scene is switched fast.

These AC45 catamarans with wings are just plain BOORING to watch racing. They cover a leg in so short time that there is no time for the commentators to explain the tactics of the crews, and that makes as "interesting" as watching American Football when you have no clue of the rules of the game. If Americas Cup wants to be an event for sailing enthusiasts only, then there is no problem. But is your ambition level so low? In-port Volvo Open 70 races are much more fun to watch.

Not such a good sound mix this week, the narrator was mostly buried by the music and certainly quieter than any of the other dialog.
I also experienced video freezes accompanied by audio static.
Viewing in California, streaming to an Apple TV v1.

I'm enjoying all those sudden static errors...
