1. This is amazing! 👏

2. This is my second OR to follow and your daily reports makes all the difference. It'll be fun once again to watch the teams race around the 🌍 and the many ports of call along the way.

3. First, thank you, thank you once again for bringing us this race coverage in NRT with all the amazing video, interviews, and analysis for the price of an internet connection! I love all the extra daily video you are pumping out, but I hope you also get back into the regular daily shows we so enjoyed in the last 2 editions. Myant-Best is the Phil Liggett of offshore racing and we want more. Where is the drone footage from the OBRs? Also, we know they are not directly competing, but can you give us some graphics of the relative positions and speeds of BOTH fleets with respect to each other?

4. Awesome coverage but very disappointing that some boats are going around with very old sails that have been around the world before it seems , you can see the logos painted over ,, just not the full package, hope that gets sorted fast

5. I take my hat off to the great reporting, the extraordinary organisation of this event and, of course, to the great performance of the sailors and their teams in the background. I was able to be on the water at the start in Alicante and got a tour of the Team Malizia Seaexplorer in advance and am now even more impressed than before. It was a unique experience that made me feel even more excited. Go.Malizia! and of course to all the other teams, especially GUYOT environnement – Team Europe 😁

6. I think this is one of the most interesting and well structured reports on the Whitbread/Volvo/Ocean race. Brilliant, thank you.

   Lovely little programme, It was interesting hearing about subtleties around routing and actual wind, and compromises with sail changes.
   Fast and bright report, really enjoyed it. Again, I think this is by far the best reporting I've seen since we had to wait 2 months for a written report in the papers. (Yes, I'm old…. and yes I've sailed on a couple of old Whitbread boats 😉

   But those IMOCAs….!!!!!!

   I'm pleased to see the IMOCAs doing so well against an aging 'sit outside and get very wet' Volvo fleet, although the superstructure on Malizia does make me think of a good cruising boat. Then again, they are moving fast.

   Thanks, more of this……..

7. Find the coverarge very disjointed and sensational rather than a sober assessment of the race. Sorry

8. Great Coverage. Thanks bringing Sam on again. She really has the insight on the Details.

9. Is there any kind of schedule for these releases?

10. Many thanks 🙏 for this nice reports on the race and Sam’s commentaries are like a cherry 🍒 on the 🍰 😊 🙏

11. ale jazda!

12. Awesome and spectacular coverage and greatly appreciated, even by us land-lovers.
    How do the grinders eat and take-on enough energy to continue through the night? Do they have food storage? Would you please do a brief video on how they do this, please?
    Absolutely amazing.

13. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing coverage. As an avid sailor with ocean ambitions this inspiring!! ❤

14. Thank you, great report!

15. Thanks for all the info and footage! Great explanations and mix of all boats and crews. And the input from Sam Davies! Her vast knowledge and experience as well as her naval architecture background (the comments re Malizia's foils and "flight") went a long way to increase understanding. The nav discussion on 11th hour and Niall's explanation – yea! I think it would be interesting to compare the VO65 nav discussions. There have been various comments (commentors) about computer driving IMOCA vs VO65 helmsman but I think it gets lost that the helmsman is getting info from a navigator and the VO65 nav person(s) are using similar tools. Bottomline, though – excellent reporting and video compilations – it helps to wrap up the snippets of RAW from the boats and the daily Race Report.

16. Such heart from Viva Mexico ❤️‍🔥

17. Eu não sei o porquê mas eu estou fissurado, fascinado, vislumbrado por essa competição, talvez porque meus ascendentes são e foram pescadores artesanais e meu subconsciente carrega um certo fascínio por competições marítimas.

18. One of the few sports that has as much beauty and diversity as its natural location. Your narrative is engaging and educational. What a treat to view.

19. Yooo that segment on 11th hour and the wind angle was great.

20. Another great episode. I usually try not to be that person who gets grumpy about changes to sport in the name of progress, but my heart just can’t get behind these IMOCAs. No doubt they’re a cool boat, and I totally get the push to go to a closed cockpit after what happened last event, and yes hydrofoils are cool, but…ya, they just don’t do it for me. I really hope they’re a stop gap until the next event, when I would hope to see closed cockpit, foiling monohulls that’s are purpose built for the Ocean Race, meaning larger crews, more data transmission abilities, more fixed on-board cameras, and please, auto-the-pilot has got to go.

    Auto pilot makes sense for solo off-shore, but for what is supposed to be a race based on traditions (sailing being one of the oldest things we do), auto pilot just does not feel correct. How much longer until AI can replace the navigator? How long until solar panels and battery tech can replace human grinders? There’s a place for all that kind of stuff in other types of sailing, but the Ocean Race should remain true to the roots of sailing. I think that in 15-20 years, we could automate pretty much every job on the boat, just send the OBRs on a rip around the world. Wouldn’t be as interesting of a race though.

    If anything, put the helm back in the hands of a person, and use AI with fly-by-wire to control the hydrofoil, like on the Americas Cup boats, for more consistent foil sailing.

21. Is there live Cabo video of arrivals at finish line? Fri. 8:42pm ET NY USA

22. That opening drone shot blows me away.. awesome work

23. great racing and organizing as ususal but why are there only 5 teams? None of the big names from last time is racing this time…

24. Now this is some great coverage. Great new idea! Keep it up.

25. Good reporting, keep it up!👍🏻

26. @theoceanrace I was thinking that as last time in VOR the report "show" will be daily … but seems to in alternate days

27. Thank you for the best sailing reporting I’ve ever seen.

28. So far The race summary shows are as good it was last Volvo race, but web pages not so good compared to Volvo race. Only skipper photos of Volvo 65 boats and no crew on board on leg info and photos . Even some teams on their own web pages hide the info about who are the crew members on leg and who is the trimmer, navigator ands so on .

29. Kia Ora, thanks soo much for this very interesting video !!! cheers Siegmar

30. I try to find the finish of the imoca teams in Cabo Verde

31. Wellcome to Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 🇨🇻

32. The Ocean Race Show is great! Thanks and keep up the fantastic reporting.

33. Nice!! Thanks

34. Shows you computers can guide you but its still human intervention, savvy and sailing knowledge that decides the position and direction. Got to be on your best all the time. Great info and very interesting video.
