If you watch closely Phil had opportunities to avoid the collision either by gybing early or ducking. He had his hand out complaining to Spain in the way but Spain had no speed to steer the boat. Phil instead (after doing motions with his hand complaining to Spain was in the way) steered into the collision instead of ducking behind Spain. Based on how things happened during this season Phil seems like he is still bitter that his contract with Spain expired when Jordi Xammar took over (all along knowing Jordi will drive after his 2021 Olympic campaign) and is still acting like he was unlawfully dismissed from his role. He just keeps on jumping in to moments where he can say or do something negative to Spain.
Who was the male reporter down on the water that appeared unannounced twice ? He was great! Gave wonderful insight and injected energy better than the other reporters did .
You know you're a sailor (or an educated sailing fan) if it sounds weird when the announcers say, "off their left/right hand side..." instead of using port or starboard. I wish the announcers would use port and starboard and just educate listeners who don't know what that means already. Or, occasionally say something like, "on their port, or left side..." which is also awkward, but could serve to educate people who don't know.
And yet, turns are left or right, and we still say left or right-hand side of the course. But I hear you. As a professional captain, I find myself constantly interpreting for my passengers, using different terms when talking with my crew. Block/Pulley, Rope/Line, etc. Even the time is spoken differently, using AM/PM for passengers, and a 24 hour clock for my crew.
I think they should find a happy medium between “no jargon” and “too much jargon” where, as you said, specialized terms can be used but explained to educate viewers. Hopefully if SailGP becomes successful enough to be famous in its own right, there will be less of the slightly-embarrassed “steal auto racing terms so people love us like they love NASCAR” tone going on.
I am a dedicated sports fan who has only found this racing format this week and knows nothing of sailing. The F1 commentary does exactly what you described they explain things I take for granted every session which helps teach new fans. Like I have no idea what is meant by tack!
but that "sailor" vocabulary makes it harder for non english speaking viewers to understand, in my language, for left we say "bombordo" and "estibordo" for right
Only 2 points across 1-6th place at the end of the day? Damn! Pretty sure that's the closest it's ever been! I imagine the fact that Can was windward boat was probably a factor in the penalty? Also, why did they get spit out the back sooo hard at the start of Race3? Looked like they had room. Australia's angle to the bottom gate at the beginning of Race 2 is probably the number one thing that got them that race.
I am curious what other people's thoughts are on this, but why are there so many crashes? I have watched a number of races recently (I have only recently been interested in sailing and sailgp), but I keep seeing extremely close calls, or full on impacts. is it because of the sail restricting sight, or is it stubbornness to keep an advantage?
It seems that they nerver use dual foils i light air. This is mysterious because, dual foils must be less drag compared to leeward hull in water and one foil. Best is of course one foil only and rudder. But if that is not possible then I think two foils would be the next choise and last choice would be leeward hull in water and one foil........ Anyone....
that was surely no false start from Germany. What were they looking. You can see both start boyes and the virtual line is perfectly aligned to them. This is not ok
What’s with the production quality? Laggy video, terrible effects superimposition, missing boat speeds on mast tops, and course boundary white fence effect that cuts boats in half. :( Maybe less digital effects and just show the beautiful locations. I love Sail GP, but it’s hard to concentrate on the sailing when it looks like a high school production.
SailGP: why are you not displaying boat speed? I know that you think we're all morons, and can't understand the basic concept of VMG, but holy moly - EVERYONE knows what km/h are - so why aren't see seeing them?
I think the Race For The Future program should include standards for what kinds of companies can sponsor and what industries can’t, along the lines of the tobacco advertising bans most sports have.
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664 Definitely. Though I think from the perspective of "economic" sustainability of the series there isn't quite as much space for that. Seems almost all the teams are struggling to find any title sponsors at all, and much of the sponsorship is from crypto scams on their last legs. Short term, I'm sure trying to sell naming rights to some big oil conglomerate to help them greenwash is probably the easiest.
Amazing. I’m calling it industrial language from now on.
🤣
Absolutely baffled that Canada was penalised for avoiding a collision

Agreed. Sack Todd (worthless) Harris and hire that dude.
Blair Tuke, I think.
What a weekend! Looking forward.
Too many vanity close ups - we can't see the racing and miss some of the big incidents.

@@rodrigopires5261 very similar to "babord" and "tribord" in french.

That Kiwi wing that failed: was it the same one that was struck by lightning in Singapore?
Looking forward to the Harbor Springs MI race in 2024
The empires, yet again, "didn't notice" Slingsby was over start line when the clock hits 0.
How was that a false start from Germany in the second race? Can someone please explain?
Why do you NOT show the standing after three races at the end of the day on Satueday's???
it's at 1:33:29
Where has the individual boat speed indicator gone ?
What's happened to the on-screen graphics recently? And why does Season 4 have so many US events?

I have watched a number of races recently (I have only recently been interested in sailing and sailgp), but I keep seeing extremely close calls, or full on impacts. is it because of the sail restricting sight, or is it stubbornness to keep an advantage?
IMHO the frequency of close calls is due to a combination of small courses, very fast boats and sailors pushing the margins to gain an advantage.

Overlay lagging as usual with SailGP, when aer you Merican ever learn to do something right?
How can something so awesome be so annoying to watch
I wonder why they let so many non racing boats so close to the race boundaries?
Will we ever see a Japanese team again?
Hopefully someday!
Right!
First race 25:20
That penalty was BS. Canada clearly had right of way. They gybed to avoid the collision.

Yeah them kiwi,'s sailgp team did a great job race 1 unlike their rugby allblack counterpart game 1 loss .hope the wind picks up for yaal.
Eeep! Poor Amokura!
how can usa have so many great pros and do so poorly I feel the usa boat is fast but make really poor decisions
Because they thing that being great is a matter of opinion. Oops.

GB should just call themselves fossil fuel emirates and be done with it . That advertising is a joke in a climate catastrophe .

Society would collapse without fossil fuel. The Kiwis were sponsored by Emirates for years, nobody complained then.
And why is the gb team described as Emirates GB , Denmark is never called rockwool Denmark etc . Are even the commentaters bought off . Terrible !.
@@MyKharlibut they do call them Rockwool Denmark a fair bit
pathetic calls on the part of this biased empire team, lack of neutral fairness equates with crappy competition
Drop the cheap crappy junk music please
Cool
