1. 

2. Is there a market for floating Pavillion. I can see solar panels as shade with pontoons amd self correcting motors keeping the spectators in position. With backup propulsion and safety. Can be downwind of the race, so it doesn't interfere with wind pressure.

3. Kiwis starts are very disappointing!!!

4. What was the non sense penalty to Italy for the Brazilians at Race 1? So stupid. Cost them a potential top 3. Why there are hardly any explanations given for penalties?

5. How's the Kiwis DEI strategist working out?

6. A Dutch saying: “The best sailors are ashore.”

7. Either the woke overlords have decreed New Zealand aren't allowed to sail competently any more or they've got a broken boat. I find it amazing that they can dominate an Americas Cup but are unable to judge a start in GP.

8. Ridiculous format. Assigning penalties with reaction time of sloth is crazy. Please make automatic substitute human slow reaction time with machine….

9. Why do we suck at starting!!!

10. Qennnntinnnn qentinnnn qeeentinnn uuuujuuu. Kisssesss. Monika. Not possible dikstra. I met a surfer!!! Rau kokore!!! Hugs!!!! Superhugs!!! Alee aleee alleee.

11. Thats because Burling is bloody hopeless unless he has a faster boat.
    Thank god we Nathan Outridge in our boat for the Americas Cup, otherwise Burling would have probably made the best boat look average.

    Totally overrated!!!

12. Great racing, better commentary too.

    Aussies are

13. Coverage abysmal as usual. Missing crossings and exciting moments, no explanation for penalties, replays are useless as they just show what the live feed showed with no additional angles or new moments… You gotta do better!

14. New Zealand you are embarrassingly bad.
    Crap starts both here and in Auckland, …. If you were an EPL team, half the team would be stood down, and the manager fired!
    Simply awful by the Kiwis.
    No excuses for such terrible performances!

15. terrible video coverage, sadly. STOP DOING CLOSE SHOTS EXPECIALLY ON THE FIRST ONES TO END THE RACE WHILE THE PACK IS FIGHTING HARD

16. Well done the aussies, cracking starts. As a Brit our starts weren't great, seemed to lack acceleration at the line. But on the plus side they sailed the boat fast with lots of overtakes. We just need to nail the starts

17. Commentators, shut tfu, we can see what's happening, let us listen to the onboard.

18. Great flights!!!slyngby!!!!

19. $$$SHOPPING FOR EXPERIENCE…tactfully put.

20. E menomale che adesso c'è Tita come tutti volevano in America Cup, ha preso fino ad ora più penalità lui che tutti gli altri messi insieme, mi sa che al prossimo Americas cup non ci porta neppure alle semifinali, spero di sbagliare

21. Commentary better – still very focused on top 3 though. How about a semi-transparent course tracker in one of the corners of the screen (ala F1 course tracker) showing boat positions on the course?

    The bigger fleet is definitely making for closer racing!

22. So where are our MAGA heroes, who represents Christian White Nationalism now?

23. "full viking mode" , yet another great description…

24. Is the practice day broadcast anywhere like they do for F1? Sounds like theres always a lot of action on those

25. The Dylan Fletcher story is heading for a happy ending , he and his team are able to find speed in the middle of legs .

26. "Steezy"

27. Best day of SailGP yet!

28. terrible video coverage, sadly. STOP DOING CLOSE SHOTS EXPECIALLY ON THE FIRST ONES TO END THE RACE WHILE THE PACK IS FIGHTING HARD

29. Far too little attention is paid to the Danish team; they are clearly the fastest of all…

30. Great coverage – Thank you! Hopp Schwiiiz!

31. NZ needs a new skipper…..

32. Race one: Italy gets robbed again by non existent penalty. This is highly unfair.

33. Best day watching Aussie blitz it .

34. Positives: Sailors, boats, and racing is great! Negatives: Commentary, umpires, and coverage. Boats getting points penalty because someone else ran into them is ridiculous. USA 8 pt penalty for capsizing under tow…isn't it enough of a penalty to not be able to sail? SailGP's inability to keep the fleet operating, and then giving France season 5 pts without sailing, putting them 6 out of 12 leading into this race is ridiculous. Italy's penalty in race…never saw it and they didn't show it. Switching to AUS going fast across the line when multiple boats are nosediving and trying to foil again….absolutely horrible coverage. Starting GER -32 pts for practice infringements. Not sure how such a great form of racing can be handled so badly by the governing body. I just turn it down and try to figure out what's going on. That's easier than listening to the babble going on, which is often factually inaccurate or just plain non-existent when it matters.

35. Need to change the commentators…

36. The kiwi captain and boat are lost at sea!!

37. ETNZ can now go sInk their boat and never race again, very poor performance in Auckland & in Sydney. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT & EMBARRASSMENT!!

38. Commentary from the hype guy is far far too much. This isn't the WWE Stevie

39. Australia looks almost perfect. Shame about the U.S. Poor NZ must have broken something, but they never said what the problem was.

40. Veru disapointed Brasil was goung so well and what mistake last leg

41. Burling and the kiwis really do look like amatures

42. enough with the rap music please just some pleasant classical music will do please.

43. Very good race

44. I simply love it! Tom is the master of the starts!

45. Some pretty iffy judges calls out there …

    my opinion

46. Well done USA! If you can’t even get towed out to the course perhaps you aren’t ready to be on the line. The current lineup def seems to be lacking and is making tons of mistakes. Please do better guys.

47. Missing the Team USA on their breaking bad- wish them luck getting back soon. Team France! wow- Great Effort. Team NZ we know you are better! Team AUS fantastic performance Fly Australia!

48. Let me guess, it was Mr Coutts that approved that rap main theme…? God thats so awful xD

49. PLEASE STOP BOAT COVERAGE AND YOU ALL Talking AT THE SAME TIME , SOUNDS LIKE CRAP,
    !!!!
