Sail GP

[dogmeat]

Spoke to some guys that went to both days. Saturday on a boat yesterday in the stands. They raved about it.

From a sailing purists perspective, it was pretty exciting with lots of incidents but at the same time dull and a bit boring. I think the course is way too narrow which doesn't allow for passing lanes and means passing really relies on capitlising on others mistakes. Of which there were plenty. Aussie made the fewest mistakes and so were deserving winners.

NZ fucked up almost every start. Don't know what was going on. Most un- Burling like

An Auckland Transport spokesperson says the Bayswater ferry's skipper was called through by the race marshal on Thursday during a SailGP practice session.
