1. To the lady in the chat replay. The broadcast is ALL about the maxis, the other 100 boats don't matter.

2. Jimmy Spithill even learned the names of some of the smallest/amateur boats.

3. Thx
   👍….Great coverage 👏
   Aroha

4. If you came here to avoid reality then you will be disappointed! If you came for REAL racing drama- Welcome, Welcome-Finally!

5. Not missing the humour in calling protest on 'Law Connect'

6. Law Connect did some pro bono on the duck to let BJ get below Oats

7. A bit more chaos than I expected. Ain't that boat favored? "WHERE AM I GONNA GO?". "PROTEST"! Sea room or port starboard? "We're gonna be in a collision!" "Ef'n idjits", "Ef'n themselves." "I can't believe it, man!" [incomprehensible australian] "Whoa", "Ease the jib, Ease the jib, Ease the jib, Ease the jib, c'mon guys!", [incomprehensible australian." "I don't think it was us", "Sorry" grin. etc.

   Sounds just like Wednesday night.

8. Amazing coverage and also great because it really showcased the class exhibited on Blackjack and Wild Oats while showing the lack of class, maturity, and needed skill of Winning Jr.

9. I'm surprised anyone wants to work with Mark Richards..
   The guy is so obnoxious is not funny

10. I'm no expert, but if you look at how much better the crew on board comanche trim the main sail compared to wild oats this must make a big difference to the overall speed of the boat.

    Look at 59mins in for a good example

11. Comanche, built in East Boothbay Maine by one of the oldest builders in the country

12. For those wondering where the penalties occurred, scroll back to just after 40:45. I'm guessing that Hamilton Island wondered if they gave enough room for Law connect to avoid their mutual obstruction of Black Jack, coming in on starboard. It seems to have occurred just outside the three boat zone. Hamilton Island sailed straight on and Law Connect was able to tack underneath, so I think Hamilton Island DID give enough room. It would be nearly impossible to hear a hail for room with this wind. Then just after 41:13, Black Jack was clear ahead of Andoo at the three boat limit. Then Black Jack tacked onto port, losing that initial benefit of rule 18. Black Jack tacked really close to the mark, coming in on port when Andoo had been fetching the mark on starboard the whole time. With Black Jack approaching so close to the mark, Andoo had to do a very tight turn around the mark so they wouldn't collide with Black Jack. They got too close to the mark and fouled it. So, Black Jack might be protested by Andoo for not giving the starboard Andoo enough room under rule 10.

13. I like when y'all cover some of the other boats at the second turning mark. I like to see the underdogs and small boats too.

14. Absolutely FANTASTIC coverage!!! Thanks!

15. John Winning … sounds like a skipper I would hire.

16. Brilliant coverage as always from anything coming outta oz and has sails. Would love to do this iconic race..

17. Fantastic coverage.

18. Well done "COMANCHE"! But you won't have it so good next year! A new maxi called "CAVALRY", will be out hunting for line honours.

19. This was an amazing start to the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race! The sheer amount of boats and the skill of the sailors was incredible to watch. Even more incredible was the way they all managed to stay safe and avoid collisions. It was a great showcase of the skill and precision needed to sail in these conditions. Thanks for sharing this amazing event with us!

20. thy did indeed infringe. you cannot make contact with a race marker

21. The entire front pack especially Law Connect and Blackjack owes a penalty turn for preventing Comanche from making their first tack from starboard onto port at the race boundary.

    Black Jack on port clearly restricted Comanche’s right of way and their ability to round the turning mark cleanly.

22. Blackjack made Law connect do a massive bear away as they threaded the needle between Law Connect and Wild Oats.

23. Can someone please unpack all that start drama? The commentators seemed to have no idea.

25. Cool

26. Don’t see any foiling boats , assume they don’t meet the rules ( same as multihulls?)

28. I wonder when we will see the first foilers for this race. Fully crewed IMOCAs or otherwise…

29. How crap was the coverage at the last mark? Just as the reaching sails are about to hoisted, they cut away.. They didnt show a single hoist and set .

31. black jack didn't get penalties. I will say that wild oats is really showing it's age.

34. What a blast to watch with my family on Christmas Day after dinner. Fantastic as always!

    I wonder if Jimmy will go back from commentating to racing if someone beats his record?

35. awesome…

36. why is there no molty hull saill boats in the race

37. Doesn’t sound like AMERICAS cup communication.

38. You are right David.

39. Such an exciting start!
