1. Let’s hear the racers communication, not the constant annoying commentators

2. This is so much better than Americas Cup. I know AC is supposed to be cutting edge but having few boats and a huge price to race is a dead end

3. What happened at the finish of the second race? They said the Americans beat the Australians and then it was flipped the next time they spoke about it, but they didn't explain.

4. SAIL GP NEEDS TO REVIEW IT"S BUSINESS MODEL- UNWATCHABLE- and barely SKIM'able'

5. Can we add another 5 min to the races ? If not, why not ?

6. Nathan Outerridge #SailGPJPN #windwhisperer

7. Unfortunate wind isn't participating for yet another GP weekend. While I think the 15 minute rule is at least more clear about why race lengths get shrunk down, it should be 15 min then everyone races to the next gate (instead of rolling back results to last gate crossed).

8. Love the Ricky Bobby reference. Maybe get some guest commentary from Will Ferrell in San Francisco?

9. I hope this is SailGP's last year. Not really interesting sailing. It could be so much more, but they have decided what they want and aren't learning.

10. Something isn't right with the format if a race times out before third place can cross the line!!!!!

11. Why are these tools talking kmh. What regatta have you ever sailed in where the wind forecast was in kmh? Who is their target audience?

12. 55:35 “Wind coming over the left side of the boat”. 😂 Real sailors call that the port side! Then again, every real sailor that I know talks about wind and boat speed in knots…

13. Seriously, how can I watch these races without the commentators but with the comms from the sailors? So annoying listening to that one commentator add nothing useful while drowning out the teams.

14. Yet another no-wind venue. Maybe they should invent a 1000m wing so they can actually foil around … then again what's the point if the races are just 15mins long LOL

15. Great commentators, keeping up the tension in slow-motion wind-conditions ! Thank you 🙂

16. Супер гонки! Спасибо! Съёмки великолепные!

17. This race format with the tight time limit is ridiculous

18. If you listen closely just before Race 3 you can hear the entire SailGP fandom groan at that “Spanish Armada” joke.

19. What a great day’s racing, even in light winds. I’m so glad to see Nina, Sena, CJ, and the others actually racing! On to Day 2!

20. Fantástico Amigos un gran espectáculo una maravillosa retransmisión un gran locutor, gracias por a verme eco disfrutar, no avía visto nunca este tipo de barco, te seguiré por todo el mundo un gran saludo.

21. Fantástico España.

22. Kinda frustrating to watch those races with close to no wind. I like it when I am racing because the tension is high and the reward for making the right decision is massive, but as a spectator it's just pretty lame.

23. Well just checked…………see you in
    ………..67 days………….. Then we'll have another 12 minutes of racing unless of course it gets……….shortened………. What????!!!

24. Tom is like a USELESS ROOSTER. Hence as an Aussie I’m for Nathan😬🤔😳😂 BOCK BOCK

25. Was that Slong Timsby? Or Tom Slingsby?😳

26. COULD be great to watch, without the stupid time limits, shortened courses, speeds in KPH instead of proper nautical terms (knots of course), naff direction, and wittering commentary presumably aimed at low-IQ football fans…….
    There must be someone out there who could do this so much better: who is it?

27. Can someone please tell all the sailors to check their safety harnesses. At 2:10 in, there is a shot where 2 sailors are walking towards the camera and it clearly shows their safety harness are both put on incorrectly. The yellow loop is a belay loop that should NEVER be on the inside of the harness. It’s an attachment point and should go outside of the waistband. You can also tell because the gear loops on the harnesses are pointing upwards, which is not typical of any climbing harness manufactured. Please spread the word amongst all the teams, this is absolutely a safety issue. Please put your harness on correctly.

28. That's total rubbish finishing the race so early. Ruins the event as far as I'm concerned. Really bloody annoyed!

29. Why is there no italian team in this series ? They should be there!

30. Assume racing. Congrats Team Aus. And great to see Jimmy/Team USA being consistent.

31. Wonderful boats, wonderful sailors and the most stupid format ever seen. It is really amazingly stupid. I would love to know who's responsibility is the whole format starting with the super small start line, tiny sailing space, tiny sailing time and such a collection of nonsense like showing speeds in Km/h or miles/h with two decimals that only confuses the commentators and spectators alike.
    BTW… TV producers and cameramen are in the same degree of stupidity. Shame on them!

32. I have to say that it is great to see some ladies in the series!

    BUT – Still no VMGs being displayed.
    
    It's amateurs-only in the production studio, apparently.

33. Dear commentators, learn to pronounce the place names that you're spending time in or at least looking at remotely: Car Deeth not Ca-Diz, jesus…

34. What the? You chop and change the course continually during racing and then you just stop at 15 minutes and that's it??? Back to what was happening several minutes ago for the result! I think I'm done with SailGP. Seriously just pick a set of rules and a number of crew etc… and stick with it.

35. why do they have so many people on board in such a light breeze???

36. I'm a kiwi but Burling & Tuke are constantly making the wrong call, what is wrong with these guys? Why keep shortening races, low winds & 15 mins each race is ridiculous, not worth watching. Race 3 showed 3 yachts cross the line 2 secs early, why no protest?

37. It must be pretty disheartening for supporters to see their team knocked out because of the race time limit.

38. Nathan Outteridge should join Nz for the next America's Cup.

39. People no longer understand the point of sailboat racing. It's completely lost its panache.
