Great stuff, this is a fantastic addition to the SailGP experience. I'd like to see France get up this season, was a heartbreaking America's Cup for them and they felt like a permanent bride's maid last season.

Great info & insights. Like the format, keep it up 👍

Love the inside scoop😊. Can't wait for the season start. My top 3 will be Spain, New Zealand and Australia

Both Phil and Nathan out of a ride is a shame, both brought a lot to the series.

Hope we do see Hannah at the wheel for GBR, and more of the female sailors at the controls generally.

Good commentary, much better than races. Stevie take this approach back to the race calling please. Lisa keeping doing your thing.

I love this! Lisa is fantastic in this role. I knew nothing about sailing and she explains things so well. I can't wait to find put who is leaving Australia. Is it Jason? Is it Kyle? I was shocked when Andy Maloney left NZ.

"Will we get a windy season or a lighter season?" Oh God!

[olejohannesromtveit]

Very interesting talk, but how can you leave out commenting on all the teams. Denmark? France? Germany? and the others...

[zoepaulastrassfield]

It would be great for Hannah to graduate to the skipper position!
