aardvarkash10 130 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 yup, the youtube feed was good. Also, you can drop in and out of it and still not miss anything. Racing was a bit of a lottery toward the end of the day, but no doubt great practise for all teams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 325 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 yes, it's hard to go back to tv after you've gotten used to; watching when you want, hopping around the video, skipping the bits YOU think are boring and replaying the ones YOU think are interesting https://www.windy.com/?-36.817,174.938,11 Race course A will be used for racing today 20 December 2020 and weather forecast are for North-Northeast breezes and light winds between 7 to 12 knots with low tide at 18:45.

harrytom 261 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 As much as I struggle to watch the AC75s.It is totally amazing to see a 75footer foil.But as for the racing aspect completely boring to me.Much rather go to local pond and watch iom racing or the unrestricted marblehead class. At least they can be matched racing.But this AC75 stuff is a fore gone conclusion (in most cases)win the start have won the race. Hope I am the only one that feels this way but cannot see it being a future major event. Fish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 654 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Sadly i agree. And the hype makes it alot like professional wrestling. harrytom and jim s 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim s 17 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 These foiling beasts sure are a spectacle but i'd far prefer to see racing like Fremantle again ... harrytom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 51 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Youtube is about 10 seconds behind, and the picture quality not as good as TV1. However with TV1 as soon as the race finishes you get adverts, and miss the race recap highlights, plus the interview with the skipper. So what I do now is watch the race start to finish on TV1, then flick to Youtube for the between race bits. I guess it depends if you prefer Lester/Robertson or Read/Outteridge as well.

Clipper 195 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hmmm... on thewater i was getting youtube 90 seconds behind? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 51 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Sorry what I meant was Youtube 10 secs behind TV1. They are both about 1.5 - 2 minutes behind live action. On the water you have to listen to PJ on the AM radio for no-delay commentary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
