I've always liked the old BBC F1 intros set to Fleetwood Mac, so I decided to create an America's Cup version. Took a bunch more time than I anticipated, but I think it turned out alright. Let me know what you think.

Well done you, great job!

Looking at dorox's data from race 4. TR was faster across the board - including in tacks and gybes - seems the Kiwis are learning quickly. Much higher bottom speed through each tack.

Yes, it seemed almost visible....Ken Read mentioned it.

For those understanding french, excellent video from Marc Bouët explaining why the left entry boat wins if he doesn't make a mistake. Quality of vid itself is far from perfect but the explanations are limpid.

Nice editing. Good effort. Royalties?

nice initiative/product crashtack. 

I've always found the combination of sailing videos and music excruciating.  That fleetwood song sounds as if they were listening to the Clash.

What is the benefit of entering the start box on time (2.10 or 2.00)?  Can one of them just stay OCS until 10 secs to go and then cross the box? That would prevent any pre-start shenanigans.

Warner Bros. claimed the video, so I assume everything goes to them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

is there not a penalty for late entry ?

Have to disappoint all Kiwis who want to see these majestic boats from ashore. Looking at the Wind patterns it could be that Course C won't be used for the entirety of the Match unless we get into next Wednesday provided Tuesday is a Lay Day.

I hope you're right H.R. Puff N stuff.

I thought so - they get penalised for being early?

Paddy must jump in the bunk for 3 hours, surface, make a French press of strong coffee, put 3 logs on the fire and watch the racing in terror.
