1. Glad for Phil, but ooof, it's gotta hurt for the home team to lose THAT narrowly at their first home event.

2. WTF was Ben doing at the start!

3. The video coverage is excellent, however, the white boundary fence overlay is obnoxious and unnecessary. Find some other way to display the advertising.

4. Priceless….

5. Ainslie has gone from a world beater to a mediocre sailor. He can't start any race higher than 5th! His start tactics are abysmal. His course speed is average but he's never, ever going to win this event. He should quit now. GB must have a better helm than him. His day is done and I'm tired of rooting for a perpetual loser.

6. Эпично, Франция, Новозеландия. Штурман Франции опозорился )))

7. The most interesting day of last 3-4 events

8. Ainslie has been consistently very poor at the starts for months!

9. GBR not good enough, again.

10. It's CANADA. Not Canader. You accent is fucked.

11. GB boat took there eye off the ball in the fifth race. Ainslie was to blame, concentrating on slowing the France boat down. Canada run away with it and qualify.
    Ther are better sailors now than Ainslie at this level. Maybe time for a change??

12. Ben Ainslie concentrating on his media business. His head is not in the boat. He is poor as media interviewer too

13. Looks like B.Ainslie just cant figure out how to properly position himself at the start of a foiling cat race. He is still keeps starting like one would start on a laser back then in his Olympic days – it was pretty much the same during the last Americas Cup 😕

14. wow just wow….nice job Canada…from Quebec city

15. Every race USA disappointing. JS needs to go.

16. WTF 1:07:35 Penalty US against the Swiss? They were 100m away from each other? If it was from before 2 minutes to go why did the Umpire wait until 20 seconds before the start to announce it?

17. The obstruction in the middle of the course actually made the racing more interesting.

18. What a great watch Aussie born but Canadian grunt best of both worlds.. FANTASTIC

19. Great comeback and a spectacular finish! Congrats to the Canadian SailGP team for their 1st place finish!!!

20. Ben’s been gun-shy at starts since he pranged Japan last season. So now he settles for going slow at the left hand end every time. Translates to being consistently 6th-ish at the first mark. He often picks up a couple of places during the race, but an average 4th place finish is not enough to guarantee the final 3.
    Ben is a fabulous solo helmsman but a mediocre skipper, IMO

21. Overall a good day of racing! I still feel like the 3-way final race is a let-down after all the exciting fleet racing though, think SailGP should re-evalute their format, it puts their sleepiest race at the end.

22. Congratulations to team Canada.

    🇨🇦🏁🇨🇦🏁🇨🇦🏁

23. Great competition and congrats to Canada! … Now, on the other side, and please, do not play ignorant that you are all were not aware – so how many Dolphins were killed during this great event? … again, great event!

24. How is this not on the major News Outlets in Australia?

25. Well done to Canada on its first regatta win. Looking forward to the finale, hopefully this time they have some decent winds and aren’t limping around the cause on one hull.

26. So the audio is a good 30 minutes behind the video? This was awkward to watch … what happened?

27. The audio on this is messed up, but not on every YouTube app. On Smart TV and PS4 apps it's way off with what sounds like the tech walk playing over the first race. On laptop browser it seems to be fine. The day 1 stream recording didn't have this issue.

28. I don't know wth is wrong with Jimmy but he can't seem to time or figure out a good start, (is he on drugs?) and he gives away a lead too often. Boat speed is also slightly behind the others. It's frustrating.

29. Audio is screwed 😢

30. To get to the final in SF, Ainslee needs to beat the French. The most important thing for him in this race was not to lose ground to them in the regatta overall.

31. Great to see two Kiwi skippers at the top, gutted for team Kiwi but happy for Phil who is shining at last😊

32. A Great race but somehow the sound and the image were not synchronised very weird

33. This is New Zealand, not aotearoa

34. worst coverage 🖕ever

35. Hopefully next or soon an AC are in christchurch NZ Aotearoa 🙏
    Wow looking this arena.
    Aotearoa forever

36. What happened to the sound sync??

37. Wtf is with the audio. Wrong races audio ^%##*+>}}#%<~

38. Despite the fucked up audio, go 🇨🇦

39. Congrats Canada – great to see!!

40. really disappointing camera angles during these races. not sure if it's a different Kiwi crew, but so much of the important aspects of the races were totally off camera.
