I love the idea of the series, but the videos will need to be much more timely in order to stay relevant. The race being reported on here was 3 months ago!
I sort of agree but America's Cup is very far between competitions in each cycle. Maybe aim for them to be out as a recap atleast before the next competition.
Not really " A trophy EVERYONE wants to win" - in reality - this is billionaires competing who has longer ...you know what. Actually - that is how it started 150 years ago. After all - admit it. Was it for "everyone" - there would be not 5 teams - but 150 teams. So...
Thanks for reviewing the races. They are an exciting buildup to the main event. It is timely to remember that the only person who did not respect the cup was Benjamin Nathan, a MAORI, who damaged the cup in 1997. SHAME !
@@roderick167 That's what should happen, ironically. This thing can be renamed the Oceania Cup and migrate down its current path. To end up on ice and skates, driven by wire, on a single tack forever. We call that "up to date technology".
Glad you got this commission Mat. I will watch every one.
Congratulations Planetsails and Mathew for being commissioned to do the next 12 months of Amerca's Cup.
Looking forward to your coverage.
Good stuff Matt, as usual, look forward to hearing more over the next 11 months.
Very pleased to see you've been picked to do this. Have always enjoyed your reportage.
Fabulous. Fabulous effort, my most important subscription.
Excellent news. Well done. :)
I luv it right now.

Shared.
As an American I’m actually quite surprised we are like really good at sailing. When I think sailing I think England.
Will Britania be coming in last as usual ? They need to refresh the crew, as they are not up to the task
You put me to sleep in 37 seconds. Nice job.
let's go Z land let's go
Frankly all this is getting way too complicated! I suspect many will get lost.
Who has the sack to do 90km/hr?!! Mistakes at that speed would rip the boat apart. They are breaking apart at 30knt crash downs
Those are not sailboats. They are hydrofoils. They need to get back to regular boats…
Sorry, old school sailor here. THESE ARE NOT SAILING SHIPS ANY MORE. Me gone.

Bring back the 12 meter.
Only if you want to see boats slower than even modern cruisers. The 12M's are lovely, but they're no longer up-to-date technology.
@@chocoball604 slower is fine with me. I miss the tactical races of yore. Now it's an engineering race.
@@chocoball604 And?
Sorry. the 12m won't be back in the AC.. unless you become a billionaire, win the AC with the current class, then you get to decide

These boats look so funny. Don’t think I can get interested in this crap.
utter gayness
Takes one to know one ... Sweetie !!
