I really like the fact that sale GP uses kilometres per hour
But I really don’t like the fact that they cool the Helmsman the driver it is incredibly ambiguous
The term driver has the most commonly associated to a motor vehicle like a car or a truck and that case the solely in charge of all of the controls and may have a navigated to assist them
And calling the Helmsman the driver belittles all of the other roles on the boat

You can drive a vehicle by yourself but you can’t Helma GP50 by yourself you need the flight control the wing trimmer and the grinders all working in unison

Very Poor Wind Rule – these are built to be High Speed Foiling Cats – that is what people want to see and setting the wind so low makes racing pointless, The entire day should have been Run but as a Practice Day with no points – the alleged winner was 1 man down which was an advantage on the day because of the poor conditions – this is not Racing and I'd still be saying that if NZ was winning and hadn't unloaded the wing and went to do a show off to a Game Over – This is not racing it's not even entertaining – it should have been called off.

Is there no spare masts, or is it a logistics issue?

Put in a higher min wind speed already. Boring when not foiling

Well, at least when Peter Burling finishes up being on board, he can always step into the commentary box. He has some great insights

Should be no time limits or course changes in a final. Ever.

Time limit… what a STUPID rule, let them race. Are they worried about commercial air time?….totally DUMB.

Please do something about the AWFUL commentary on this event. Please pitch it at the level of expertise of the people watching it which is NOT people new to sailing. 'The dark patches on the water show where the stronger wind is, stronger wind equals more speed'. Do me a favour! When watching a football match you are not constantly told that the players must play the ball with their feet and while it may be necessary to explain some of the twists of the offside rule, you can say someone was offside without immediately having to explain the term. Much of the commentary is very high quality and insightful; the rest is awful. Please get rid of Tucker Thompson.

I'd like to see a rule change for the termination of the race. Imo it'd be great if, after the time runs out, the next (not the last) gate counts, so the work you've done is not for nothing in the last leg

Why not have a limited timed extension to see who wins instead of cancellation. Seems counterintuitive and counterproductive.
