Frank 111 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Watched the replays last night , fantastic viewing, its got plenty of drama which I imagine will broaden the audience but it would be good to have Mozzy sails on the commentary team. As for comparing it to the AC, meh they are totally different gigs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Holds my interest better due to close racing and its fleet racing not drag boat racing Wonder if Prime will show Sanfran high lights when it happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adrianp 103 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It was always the plan to swap between Christchurch and Auckland each year. Auckland Unlimited has a whole big month long sea festival based around the Sail GP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addem 75 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Agreed. I don't get what they can only do 36 minutes of racing in a day. I like the event but miss the Extreme series where they had a full race card over two days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 340 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Highlight for me was spotting a kiwi boat in the spectator fleet . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rangi1 49 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I was there. While the result was disappointing, the event itself was way better than I expected . I had been sceptical about the short amount of racing, but it was actually fine - probably better than 2 hours of distant keel boat sailing. Amazing amount of logistics (and obviously cost) involved in putting this on, but I can now better see the vision. I think the Auckland event will be great if you are prepared to open your wallet. Grandstand seats were $100 USD per day, plus beer. Lots of kiwi support there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
