Much better than the first day, but still, please show vmgs, wind speed and direction and distance all the time. It's not like you lack the screen real estate, and it would make for a much better watching experience

[EurekaYoungGuns]

Still not sure who's the best sailing commentator of all time, but it's for sure a close call between Nathan and Glenn. Thank you AC.

Could we have the stats for each race please? Distance sailed, turns, speed etc
Very thankful the commentary is considerably less hysterical than SGP. Tho like SGP, the AC Stevie could breath thru his nose a bit more.

39:55 they've overdone the eye whitening filter in the french team photos....they're positively glowing!

[julian]

Bloody good. It’s not the job of the best sailors in the fastest boat to hang around. It’s match racing. They race to win.

The YouTube upload needs replacing. It's glitching and dropping frames every second. Does it regardless of resolution in Chrome on macOS. Why would you only upload in HDR? It causes compatibility issues for many viewers.

Thanks for the coverage! I'm loving it 🎉

[ImpmanPDX]

This race needs the production value of Sail GP with the knowledge and commentary of the Cup crew.

[fredbarnes]

What makes it interesting is big wind and close racing

[TheCruisingKiwis]

Pretty good day on the briny. Looking forward to tomorrow

[regulus]

What were the commentators watching, to state that, downwind, Ineos was faster than LR or the latter "was matching" the former?

[glennpearce]

Great to see omega and Tudor sponsors of the racing .

[whatisthis__]

Why don't you show something as basic as the wind speed and direction?? And the leg number more than a couple of seconds per race. So at least we have something to look at, given that the races are so boring

[AiVigilance]

The speed in knots is kinda useless, it’d be way better to see the vmg

[Jamespaintsplastic]

Inios vs luna - Such a shame about that tiny mistake in the start box. Ruined the race. By the time the penalty was cleared, the race was obviously a waste of time. No one can make up that gap!

[christopherashley]

Why is NZ even in this event. Aren’t they rhetorical defending champs that will be in the AC?

[jonimakesails]

At the moment the differences in speed between the boats seem marginal....but when that difference is 2-5 knots it's a huge margin.
At the moment my money is on a repeat of the last cup. Nz vs Luna Rosa. Those 2 teams just seem ahead of the other teams with knowing what they're doing.

[thomaskunz]

Game over for Alinghi... The boat seems to be too slow. Sad... Better luck next time.

[wastinson]

The USA boat is the only one that has carbon fibre braces on the stearing/rudder mechanism above decks...and the only boat that has had a structural failure (so far) thereof. Related? Did they scrimp somewhere else such that the bracing was considered necessary, I wonder?
