I love watching these boats move through the water at speed, the waves cresting over the bow. WOW. The crews are just awesome. Wish I could see these ships in person. Greatful for You Tube or I wouldn't get to see them at all.
Awesome racing happening here. (Side note: the video is making Cape Town look like it's a desert. It has one of the most unique climate zones in the world. Cape Town is definitely not a desert)
so much awesome footage when they gybed the second mark, some badly, and in the middle of it all, you cut to the graphic???? WTF???? Do the production people even sail???
@@lesteranddonna You nailed it. Been sailing all my life and a fair amount of club racing. Love the sport but America's Cup is not sailing and frankly, it's boring. 4 guys in a couple of cockpits You can't even see what they are doing. The only reason to watch is to see if a boat capsizes dramatically and that is no reason to watch.
Nancy Dunn great question. You lose some distance in doing a tack from downwind vs a gybe. But in these wind conditions and the fact the start is not as important as the other 7k nmiles on this leg, it is better to preserve your sails and gear. There is a reason Abu Dhabi is winning this race overall.....
I'm a bit confused -- Can anyone answer this for me? Why are they trying so hard at the start of the race? Its not like its a 100m sprint but a 5000+ mile marathon.
Hola +Bugod i, we don't have that particular shot as a still image but the photo gallery for the start of Leg 2 from Cape Town can be viewed on the race website here: www.volvooceanrace.com/en/photo/235_Leg-2-Start-Cape-Town.html.
Absurd course. What's the point of having the first three marks if the boats are going to be packed together again because there's no wind where the tart line was?
love watching sailing but will pass on the environmental bs... at least not from a group of people that consume more resources that any other in history. their lack of self-awareness and the irony of their message, I fear, is too often overlooked. stick with sailing it makes sense
What is it with the 'girl, girl, girl' thing? These male asshole commentators don't refer to the other boats crews as 'boys'. I'm a male and I find this SO annoying. Get with the times, 'boys'.
Commentary is a total joke. You'd think they'd be able to hire people who knew something about sailing instead of waffling about nothing for an hour and a half.
Pls stop these regatta's non-sense. That kills the spirit of the initial round the world race. If you like regattas you have plenty of classes to choose from, but not this one.
So much fun to re-watch this on the day of the 2023 Ocean Race start. Best wishes to all teams. God speed.
man i miss this quality of coverage of the VOR.
Amazing commentary, camera work, and sailing.
Miss this

André de gravatai Brasil. Demais homens e mulheres de muita coragem .... parabéns aos competidores e Boa sorte ....
Awesome racing happening here. (Side note: the video is making Cape Town look like it's a desert. It has one of the most unique climate zones in the world. Cape Town is definitely not a desert)
I think when the boats were rounding the first mark, it was some of the most beautiful sailing to watch
was my first impression as well. 🤗
And also the perfect sailing spot.
Отличное видео, классные гонки - пора уже тоже на воду!
agreed with spending too much time on virtual. we're all here to watch real sailing, not 3D graphics
Very,very good coverage, well done
*Enjoy: The World of Sports & Have a Great Day! Cheers, René :-)*
Spend far too much time on virtual Lets see the boats more!!
so much awesome footage when they gybed the second mark, some badly, and in the middle of it all, you cut to the graphic???? WTF???? Do the production people even sail???
Love those VO65's
The song on the back on min 2:00 somebody???
I'm watching this in 2021. This is sailing. I'm stuck with a disappointing 2021Prada Cup with 4 competitors.
The America’s cup is a bloody joke ! Not sailing just money

As a sailor I must advise that sailing boats 'heel' they don't 'lean over'
Why'd they gybe instead of tack at the 19 minute mark? Just learning about this, these boats are magnificent!!!!
Nancy Dunn to tack they would have had to head all the way upwind then tack and then head down again, costing time..

Why China even there in the first place?

Well, girls can't sail; they're too emotional!
oh dear me, what a ????

now they are just turning grinders inside a room. yawn
These boats are quite fast, but my Westerly Tiger, 1971, is faster.
I think you are lying; most sailors are liars!
I’m half a man compared to these hombres.
капитализм!
а у нас путлер!
Still the worst camera and cut. After all these years, I am still mad. It is a race! You must show the overtakings! Sorry!
