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 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The highlights of the race were really good. Did anyone get to watch them. Link to post Share on other sites
BvanVugt 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The ones on TV Stephen, or some other ones? I saw the TV ones and yeah enjoyed them. Wasnt super exciting as the Volvo should be, but that was all to do with the weather and nothing to do with the coverage Link to post Share on other sites

It was a shame that there wasnt 20 knotts like earlier on in the morning so we could see how these boats might actually handle. Link to post Share on other sites
BvanVugt 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Heck yes, short course sailing with these things on the edge of control would be perfect. Cant wait till some heli footage comes along of them power reaching in a decent blow out at sea. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The highlights of the race were really good. Did anyone get to watch them. I didn't watch the highlights, for two reasons... firastly, I am not really interested in highlights, and secondly, I am not really interested in highlights. I did however watch the full replay on the volvooceanrace livestream feed. Apart from the fact that there does not appear to be a way to unsubscribe from their livestream beta which I find really offesnive (well, I couldn't find one, and gave up after 20 minutes of searching), what was available via livestream was really good. Except for the world's most ill informed cliche ridden commentator "Martin-state-the-obvious-even-when-the-pictures-clearly-contradict-what-I-am-repeating-for-the-fourth-time". Jeez the ACWS coverage with no "expert" commentator ruining it and just letting the viewer ride on board and listen to the sailors discussing things is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.
