Clipper 200 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Makes sense. I get the start times so know whats happening live and then after they have gone past or there are exciting bits, we can re watch 2 mins later on the tv down below. works quite well. Youtube is good, streams better than TVNZ (which sux) and has better commentators. Watching those boats in the prestart in front of you or bearing away at top mark hasnt got dull yet... (and Ive been out there 6 of last 7 days) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 357 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 the race director Iain Murray might be able to offer them a reprieve - with additional practice days if the harbourmaster and all teams can agree. "I would like to be out there on some more days, clearly there aren't any days on the schedule at the moment," Murray said "The days that I had pencilled into my diary were the 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th [of January] as maybe days that it might be possible but there is a lot of agreement needed on that." ... Racing takes a break until 15 January when the three challengers will be back competing for the Prada Cup to win the right to race Team New Zealand for the America's Cup in March. https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/sport/other/after-anti-climactic-finish-christmas-cup-team-nz-eager-part-potential-future-practice-races Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addem 36 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Best part of the coverage yesterday was the filler item about the foiling bikes. The reporter/presenter took one for a “ride”, on national TV, without a PFD. How does that happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 357 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 that was very informative! have been aware of them and am possibly interested in the mooted non-battery version but hadn't realised they had moved beyond vaporware Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addem 36 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Agree. Probably more interesting on water exercise than a SUP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 786 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 On day one a guy fell off the foil bike beside us. Looked like a lot of effort to get back on and going..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
