Disappointing coverage on Ch9 compared to past years. Strangely unsatisfying. Lots of ads. Lacked time, order and coverage of the fleet. Plus onboard commentary that gives insight.
Always with the slight if hand / secret hand agendas. How many women in the race ? Tell us again and again. Us dumb men didn't hear you the first few times. Soon they will want their own race. Pushed into the divisive agendas further to erode and divide. You woke agenda tossers make us sick. Go broke.
Good commentary as usual from Gordon and Peter but whoever was in charge of the camera feeds was way off. Missed all the important cross tacks and mark roundings, the drama on WildThing, etc. Maybe they don’t understand yacht racing. As a result the commentators were often left floundering as to what to commentate on. There’s always next year to try to get it right.
The coverage is pretty poor compared to previous years, unfortunately. No on-boat footage, several incidents are MIA, and generally just not the usual sense of excitement. It’s Channel 9’s maiden year, so maybe they’ll improve over time.
Having watched most of this, now I can say these commentators are absolutely wonderful, very insightful, easy pleasing delivery, a perfect match to this legendary race.
Love to see Lisa keeping busy while Sail GP is waiting on their respeccing. Sydney-Hobart is tied for my favorite open water race along with the Fastnet. I've done the Hardway and a bunch of Pacifc Corinthians, but I'd love to do some real ocean racing someday.
Is the footage getting worse? Much focus on about a half dozen boats, and maybe a total of a half dozen minutes on the two front runners. Have enjoyed your other footage recently but this was less than appointing. On the other hand the audio commentary seemed better this year than in past years.
CHANNEL 9 WORST TEELCAST EVER.. IF YOU NOT IN A CYC BOAT AN OLD…YOUR NOT IN THE FLEET

The best ever love it
Too many lawyers in the race. The commentator keeps referring to Mistral as mis-trial.
Yes, GO FIKA ………⛵
One of the classics of sailing, the 628 mile race from Sydney to Hobart. Many small boats are owned by families, not millionaires.
What no comments, come on team!
Enjoying the replay from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Thankyou.
What are the hf marine frequencies being used in this race to listen for?
Let's goooooo, great coverage. How and the world can a boat the quality of Law Connect have such a devastating sail problem 2 years in a row.
