WHich VPN service are you using? I use private internet access, and I believe their servers are "share / identified"

I do like the way Ken speaks. Enough high level stuff to keep yachties interested and laid back enough to not sound like a normal American.

And happy to voice his astonishment at the speed and agility of new foiling yachts (as in the AC50's last time).
Like all of us, I imagine he'll be pretty amped about the first AC75's races.

I'm using ExpressVPN.
If you've got an Android TV box or an Android device, e.g. a phone or a Chromecast, and are au fait with Kodi, you can read this by Matt Huisman, and then if you're comfortable, follow his guide.
Note that in order to run the TVNZ add-on for Kodi, you will need to have a VPN running, where you're spoofing your location as New Zealand.

Who do we think is going to be the Kiwi voice on commentary? PJ Montgomery? Cameron Dunn, Pete Lester? I wouldn’t mind someone younger that knows what they’re talking about. Maybe Leo Takahashi? Alex Maloney?

Would be great to include him, even if for ‘color’ shots from the water. PJM is experienced but I’d prefer Lester for commentary.. easier on the ears

There is no way PJ would not be in the mix.
Even in the last minute of the final race....

What has been your experience with NBC Sports Gold? As best I've been able to determine this service is the sole means for watching AC36 in the United States. A subscription costs in the neighborhood of $180. That gives access to all the practice sessions, the ACWS and the Cup competition. Of these, only the first - practice - is available free of commercials. World Series and Cup events will allow the minimum exposure time agreed to by NBC and contracting sponsors. I'm having a hard time convincing myself I should pay for the service and give my time away to advertising. Clearly, this is not the Pay Per View business model.
Telecasts of AC35 and Sailing GP events had the network interrupt an event regardless of the what was happening on the water. Close crosses, telling tactical moves and like events that contribute uniquely to the outcome were relegated to replays - another interruption - or missed entirely. Banal commentary, often on subjects only weakly related to sailboat racing and rarely having anything to do with the race while we watch it, burdened discontinuity with disappointment. I'm looking to folks who have used NBC Sports Gold to warn me if I should expect the broadcast to be little better than what NBC offers on a non-subscription basis. Is NBC Sports Gold a reiteration of what I see through a cable service? How often and in how many ways am I expected to pay for a privilege?
The sole alternative may be waiting for videos of the racing to be posted on YouTube. I'd be in a position to say how much am I willing to pay to watch the events live if I could be assured of the quality of the telecast.

No experience with NBC Gold but I'm not paying $175 for something that isn't commercial-free.
If it's anything like the NBC olympic streaming, be ready to get let down.
