chic014 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I just wish TVNZ would stream it in better quality. I seem to remember when we had access to the youtube stream it was way higher quality. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 ETNZ looking somewhat unimpressive. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 ETNZ looking somewhat unimpressive. A little bit of an understatement there. I wonder what went wrong today? Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 From TNZ Facebook "Emirates Team New Zealand is taking time to get into its groove racing the AC45 at the America’s Cup World Series Regatta at San Francisco. After an indifferent first race day for the team – an eighth and a ninth in the two fleet races – skipper Dean Barker is looking for better over the next three days". “Today we were far from our best. We know only too well that if we don’t get a good start and if we are not in good shape at the first mark, it’s difficult to make opportunities on a one-way course. We got to the first mark back in the pack today and we fought to pick up a place here and there but there was no way through. There are three days to go and the final fleet race carries extra points our times the points – the winner getting 40. “Our aim is to get to the start-line on Sunday in good shape.” Anyone find a link to the replay? Sounds a bit like a drag race don't it Link to post Share on other sites
Bakunin 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Have you tried to use Expat Shield or the FF resp. Chrome addon Stealthy to get a British or other exotic IP address and watch the coverage on YouTube? If so, did it work? Link to post Share on other sites

OYSTR 1 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 T-boning the committee boat at the start must be kind of embarrassing for a seasoned match racer Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 AC45 versus the committee boat at the start of the fleet race No prize for guessing who lost Link to post Share on other sites

RushMan 31 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Just watching the start again on the magic box... If you watch the top of the screen, you see the mast at the time if impact. Link to post Share on other sites
grant 40 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Looked like the helm was trying to round up, seemed like he was pushing the tiller. Seems an odd choice..... Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 On a side note YouTube is blocked in USA for the event in San Franciso (found it on the iPad app) Link to post Share on other sites
Richard2249 5 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Shame to see ETNZ lose what was a pretty good lead in the second fleet race. The starts are pretty full on, lot of boats and good breeze, but ETNZ seemed to be nailing the leeward end well. Anyone know how the penalty system works? From what I can make out a light goes on the infringing boat and the judges decide how long they have to slow down for. Certainly a lot more lenient than having to re-start or do a 360.

From what I can make out a light goes on the infringing boat and the judges decide how long they have to slow down for. Certainly a lot more lenient than having to re-start or do a 360. My understanding is that the judges calculate a penalty of x boat lengths and when they have dropped back that distance from where they would have been, they get to go again.

ballystick 74 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 There is and has been live coverage on Freeview TV now. ETNZ lost to Spithill great match race. It looks live but I'm never sure these days Link to post Share on other sites
