Thank goodness you're here

Clipper's coming out the heads.

WTF happened to the Comanche tracker??? did the camera woman take it with her?

I don't know but they've got Lady Bay marked on the wrong side as well.

Must be the worst start by ricko ever! And then the port starboard with the Indian.

What a disappointment to people who look up to them. I was hoping that they would win but don't think I can after that.

 

[richiec]

The ads were ok pre start, but insane now.

Is Sailor Girl Live?

 

[LionessRacing]

So WOXI blows the start, screws up the crossing and all while running the “7” logo on their sails. No doubt the ads are to distract you from that abomination 

 

[southerncross]

Geez, those Clipper boats are real dogs, no?

BBC 6 music works for commentary

Youtube Live over.

and hasn't done circles so long way to Hobart for nought .

The infringement rule has changed over the years.

Now, if before the sea mark it is penalty turns or if you lose the protest a time penalty of not less then 5 minutes.

You should also note it on the declaration. (SI 26)

Different after the sea mark.

At one time it was no alternative penalty inside the harbour to stop stupid stuff. (like 2002)

Then it was alternative penalty but you hard to do it after the sea mark top stop congestion in the harbour.

Seems to be consensus that it was a pretty flagrant and unnecessary foul.

Channel 7 should be sodomised for that coverage.

 

[savoir]

The replay of the protest incident has been edited so heavily that you can't tell what the hell happened.

Now we have to wait for a protest in Hobart where WOXI will probably lose. 

 

[MPH]

Two turn penalty for any infraction inside Sydney harbor.

Scoring penalty for anything outside the heads, at the discretion of the IJ.

 

[Fiji Bitter]

That add for the car on Comanche's main is wretched.

Are you really the first to say so?  It's indeed the definition of eye bleach , simply no class!

 

[Miffy]

That was pretty embarrassing WOXI. 

 

[Couta]

My annual Simpsons "Old man shakes fist at cloud" moment....in an age where every kid has a drone, we have to put up with this crap coverage and peter shipways commentary...on everything WOXI, Comanche and (with just 2 concessions) Sydney based boats...

How 'bout some coverage of the other starts? some run down on the "real race " favourites? Ok...I'll calm down now...until next year!!

  Looks like the McCartney boys either dropped a bunch of cash on 7 or signed them up as series sponsor. 

Signed up.
