Gânduri finale | Adu-uri de la Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix

So looking at the average wind speed in that location at this time of year, this event was all about the money. Boring stuff
Terrible venue, rediculously short courses, lack of wind and the most notable act of the event was a close up of Burling urinating. You get the feeling this venue was only chasen for financial reasons.
The attraction to these boats are all about foiling and speed. Venues / locations need to be scheduled where it is reasonably expected to have foiling winds and larger course options. Locations that do not have realistic foiling winds should be dropped. (I love multihulls having been a sailor / owner of many multihulls (cats & tris) for over 50 years).
F1 given their history and established brand (unfortunately) seemingly get away with tailoring their schedule and events to the countries throwing money at international sports, but for Sail GP thats in its infancy and needs to grow excitement based on its racing, its short sighted to sacrifice good racing in favour of whatever investment Abu Dhabi is offering.
Sail GP can be the most exciting or most boring form of sailing.
This weekend probably earned the most money.
14mph average wind speed in the gulf . Where the ultra green (bs) circus came to the oil rich emirates again . This venue Dubai , and Singapore are just there for the $
Russel , this is rediculous, format is crap
Best way to lose the fan base is to run events in the wrong place or at the wrong wind speed, very disappointing 😢
Sailings in my blood, never made a dollar from it professionally SO I could always speak my mind freely about regattas n courses etc……Bring in cash and I haven’t heard anyone speaking poorly of this regatta venue….Robbo is the only one that steps over the line and I believe he gets asked to pull his head in so as to not upset the cash cart……
Just my opinion as a sailor and viewer…..
The audience for this league wants fast exciting foiling boats at venues that have an expectation for reliable foiling conditions (boats at 60-100 kph). In comparison, how long would Formula 1 auto racing last if they had venues that only resulted in 25 mph (30-40 kph) loops (racing at riding lawnmower speeds). League management may think light air venues will bring in $, but people will get bored, spectators, global audiences, will leave, and the league will die, if the F50s wallow around the course at H1 & H2 conditions.
Blatantly being paid by oil states to sportswash their country with your sport was not the win-win the idiots behind SailGP thought it was, was it? Stop taking gulf oil money, you're ruining your sport, corrupting your souls, exposing yourselves as unethical and greedy, and the planet is still warming faster than ever due to fossil fuels. Knock it off SailGP, go where the sailing is good and the sponsors aren't totally evil.
These boats looked ridiculous on that tiny pond in slow motion. My worry is that if anyone who has never watched sailgp before turned into those fleet races, they are lost forever to the sport. This would crush their interest
BORING. Absolutely useless course that guaranteed a procession – why bother?
That was not good racing!!!
Hold it in a swimming pool…spectators on all sides and just as much room!
Money makes the world go around but it doesn't make wind. Ten minute races in windless places..Whats the point?
You can’t grow this format with events like this. Dull.
ugly, boring venue – never again please. dont just go for the money in future
Why don't they say what they really think. This was a complete disaster. Utter snooze fest. Do not go back here. Was like watching paint dry!!
This is really a thing? video version of the podcast has a really bad camera angle, presumably for artistic effect?
As a TV event, this one sucked. In previous low wind races they edited out some of each race so you could see the beginning and end of each race in the existing timeframe. What did we get this time? We didn't get to see race 3 and race 6! What the hell?
What a ridiculous venue, really glad actual sailing venues are coming again next. Plus halve the european teams without a home event despite better venues to sail in
Final Thought – boring from start to finish.
