looks like Burling got the start he wanted, first blood
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!

“Kiwis can fly” - how long has the comm waited to say that?
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. -

Given the incredibly difficult year Italy has had with Covid, Team Luna Rossa were absolutely fantastic. So much respect for them.
fought so hard with what was eventually a slower boat. Great series, great racing, great fun. See y'all in 2 years

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.
