            The apprentice has become the master. Outstanding work to set up the race. Commentary team saying there hasn't been a pass on this course!

                        Given the incredibly difficult year Italy has had with Covid, Team Luna Rossa were absolutely fantastic. So much respect for them.

                          That's been bandied about even during the Toyota ads, hasn't it?
                          But I do love listening to this part of the event, listening for the obvious rehearsed attempts to create a sound-bite la-la Montgomery.
                          Keep trying, chumps, that's never gonna be surpassed.

                            fought so hard with what was eventually a slower boat. Great series, great racing, great fun. See y'all in 2 years

                                A guy named Maloney won the Americas Cup on St Paddy's Day... does the TAB have odds on him not getting laid tonight?

                                    depends if the class rules change. If not, there's enough knowledge aroudn to let people move to the next generation you'd think

                                      Well done.

                                      That is the first race I have watched. Not sure if it's the race timing or the fragmentation of modern broadcasting , but this regatta never really crossed my path.

                                      My feedback. This sport desperately needs dropping spinnakers and the trepidation of whether it will be neatly packed into a hatch or dragged in the sea.

                                        A real shame eh. 20knots of breeze with the tide and we might have seen them cracking 60knots
