Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Haven't seen a thread around for this yet so thought I will start one here 1st qualifying race is nearly done and dusted. Congrats to Team Sanya for getting 3rd behind Team Telefonica in 1st place and Puma Ocean Race Team in 2nd place Camper didn't do so well Not long until the real race begins and cant wait Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Great quote from Ken Read off Puma on Stuff: "This race often puts the sailors in the most miserable spot they could be on earth," Read said. "You are either boiling hot or freezing cold and you are always wet, sleep deprived and hungry. Other than that it's fantastic." http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-spor ... field-ever Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Was just checking up and realised the first in-port race is this weekend and first leg start next weekend. According to the VOR site TVNZ have the rights and will be broadcasting the in port races live http://www.volvooceanrace.com/media/fil ... 191011.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
NevP 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 According to the VOR site TVNZ have the rights and will be broadcasting the in port races live Do you mean "broadcasting" in the same way that they broadcast all the AC World Series races in Portsmouth? I've just had a look at the TV guide at tvnz.co.nz and don't see anything that looks like sailing related on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Here we go again... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I cannot get my head around TVNZ's thinking. How can they say that at 3pm on Sunday December 4th they will show the race finish? *shaking my head* Either: ( a ) they are planning on a massive fluke and will find that the finish is live then (in which case I doubt they will be set up for a live broadcast anyway) or ( b ) the race will have finished considerably before that... in which case it will be old news, and anyone who is interested will have already read about it, watched the videos, commented on facebook, or the ETNZ blog site, or in the Sailing Anarchy or crew.org.nz forums... So, ummm, what's the target audience for that? People who have not heard of Youtube or the internet? Just how big IS the yacht racing fan community in Gore TVNZ? Link to post Share on other sites
Farrari 4 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I hope TVNZ didn't spend too much of our taxpayers money on the TV rights as they looked to get sidelined from this one. Live coverage including commentary & full onboard graphics from the http://www.volvooceanrace.com web site will make anything TVNZ can offer look a bit second rate really.

Guest Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just had this in on a random email from some crowd called Auckland Stopover. Looks like it will be on to fill in their Sunday arvo programming. Wind up the rubber band on the video recorder by the looks.

I will be watching it online. Should I be felling guilty for not watching it on tv because TVNZ are trying to broadcast our sport? I hope no one blocks the Internet footage Link to post Share on other sites
PaulR 3 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 TVNZ must do a lot of demographic profiling to fit programs to audiences I wonder why so many sailors do not watch Sunday afternoon TV over summer Nothing to do with so much sun, clear skies and nice sea breezes naturally. Monday or Tuesday evenings say 9:30 pm would be my best time with Tuesday preferred because the Stewarts do W/L on Mondays. Link to post Share on other sites

BelowPAR 0 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just with ppl mentioning that its blocked... The 'livestream' site from SailingAnarchy doesnt seem to have a link from the official Volvo site, so I dunno how trustworthy that is. Ill be up at 1 on the 'volvooceanrace' channel on youtube. Also the TVNZ agreement is different this time round... So cross your fingers. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 New reply from Volvo Ocean Race HQ - Volvo Ocean Race - Hi Chris, should be all working now http://new.livestream.com/volvooceanrace Boo ya gotta love having inside contacts Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Apparently it will be streamed live on the TVNZ website, hence the block. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 There is no promotional stuff on the TVNZ website about them running a live stream. It's hard enough finding anything about the Volvo Ocean Race there. Link to post Share on other sites
