What an excellent team work! Both Will and later Rosalin up in the mast fixing stuff. If I understand correctly they can use partially sail power again. With the code zero replaced by the J0. Which can be used for downwind sailing in approximately 20 knots of wind. For higher wind speeds TM will have a problem though.
Currently TM and Holcim-PRB have the highest boat speeds @ 20,5 kts.

Biotherm, 11th Hour & Team Malizia soon will have to do some jibing around the Ice Zone which will likely cost all 3 Boats some Miles.
I would say that Holcim-PRB still sit very comfortably. They can afford to give up 200 Miles when they do some jibing towards the south and still be in the lead.

Can someone tell me why the deck spreaders have numbers on them?

Foresail trim. Like numbers on a traveller, ya know?

Here the daily show, with a few bits we haven't seen yet. Done with Niall's enthouiasm, and remember it's for the common sailors, not for the fanatical experts we all are on SA...

That’s the common mistake all do (SailGP, TOR, etc). Common folks don’t watch this type of footage.

I said common sailors, like in the Golden Glob.

'the toughest test of a team in sport'; with vid titles like that, they're gonna' lose credibility.

Bit of bad news: I will cease to upload the VNRs and interviews for the moment. YouTube has sent me a copyright warning and took down some of yesterday's videos, and I don't want to lose my account. It's a bit strange because they are supposed to be rights free, but what do I know? Maybe I will try to object but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle. Sorry.

Don’t get me wrong. I would love the normal folks to follow the sport we feel so passionate about. But dumbing down the commentary, and the repetitive use of buzzwords like epic, unique, incredible, etc. won’t do the trick. It interests no one and risks pissing off the main and only followers. Golf is also complex and requires no dumbing down to attract eyeballs

Take care. But why do you actually upload videos that anyone can access anyway? Sorry if I missed something (I surely do).

Ah, ok, I was not aware that they are freely available. I don't have the time this year to follow closely. Well, then no damage is done. Good

Yes, the videos are available but not all are on the Ocean race feed itself on Youtube.. You have to look on SailingAnarchy.de for the interview ones (not sure why they are on this channel and not the Ocean race channel?) https://www.youtube.com/@SailingAnarchyde/videos
