Mice boat
scamdemic.... people have an immune system
Is one team out for good? only three teams left?
So, what exactly are the grinders doing? Seems like they're always cranking, and I can't see what it is they're moving. Thanks.
They’re cranking to create the hydraulic pressure necessary to work the systems on the boat. Almost everything that moves on these new boats use hydraulics except from the canting of the foils, which uses batteries
Had to watch it again just to hear the American commentator
thank you for making these available.
What do the grinders do? I know they use to grind to pull up and down sails....but what do they do now???
Great great show

А какой у вас вес и рост?
The UK has been sandbagging.. hope they get in the final and NZ kicks thier pommie arses!!!!
Silverfish crawling across the lens at 18:53
Great coverage, would like listening to radio talk on the boats annoying as you can't hear or understand it so why have it! Then the commentary would be clearer...
Can someone explain why you wouldn't use the biggest Jib possible? (not a sailor)
WOW! INEOS owned the first race! Great racing and boat handling! The best-deserved win yet!
is it just me or does one of the commentators sound exactly like John Part from the darts!?
Whoever is responsible for this on screen telemetry data graphics should be drowned.
I'm a sailing noob so I got a question, but why are the crew spinning those cranks with their arms? is it supposed to move the sail or something? and why not use legs to pedal like a bicycle for more power?
Great racing on a lovely course. Good to hear the surprise of the commentators, about our fabulous INEOS team winning both races. Go Britannia, go Ben and team.
Ita - UK : 1:14:02
Flicking thru the data too quickly for comparisons......
I'm old enough to remember when a racing sailboat actually looked like a sailboat. Of course, I don't remember them moving at 45.78 kt. Geez, that's 52.7mph!
How true! It seemed when we were flying on a spinnaker reach in our 14' Scorpion dinghy at 10kts tops, probably but these are something else - close hauled downwind!
i can see myself
Britannia always rules the waves.
Well trimmed.
I think it's fantastic! Seeing the Brits at their brutal best is just brilliant... Part of me hopes they win the whole darn thing... even though I'm a kiwi lolz 170 years and UK have never held the hugest trophy of elite sailing The formula 1 of flying across water without a motor... This is the sport... ever since jousting for real like knights... them Brits... are finally fancying their chances (after some epic changes) They look fast in high winds... super slick sublime superb and all-round misery really... (for their opponents).
Great comeback for the UK team when it really counted.
It would useful if there was a wind direction superimposed on the screen. Its only when they are passing an anchored boat that one can see wind direction from their flag
The press chase boats are an environmental disaster, charging around following the boats at 40 knots. They should have everything filmed by drone.
Let’s goo itworlds.info/round/gHeRlcubqJWla54/video 🔥
Is the music necessary, it’s hard to hear the comments over it.
Fantastic team ineos👍👍👍🥳🍺🤞🤞🤞
"Black foils go faster", "Land wins over Carbon Fiber", I love the depth of some comments XD XD Great broadcast, always fun to watch, GG IneosTeamUK
And complete is luna rossa
And complete is luna rossa final
Great job Britania!
The performance of these boats is as close to impossible that you can get. Eh?
muppet commentators cant compare pictures of foils from before christmas to now
R”'
Ainsle the AC comeback king
Awesome footage!
I'm so relieved that Team UK worked out thier bugs, having the 4 boats racing is what we all want to see
I reckon the English are on to it and the American's have made a big mistake in their hull design. If you look at the American's boat, the aft end looks like an aircraft that slopes up at the tail end. That is probably Airbus involvement but I reckon the other teams are using their long keels as part of the sail package.
#pitbikebiscuit 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Looks like its over. UK will win the Prada Cup but they don't have it what it takes to beat the Kiwis. Another America's Cup run away.
Loving the gybe tack manoeuvre out of the bottom gate by the Brits, to protect the right hand side
Simply awesome, well done team Ineos for pulling out all the stops...
Brilliant start for Ineos - after disasterously bad warm-up races. (Have they been sandbagging?) Clever win!!
io non ci capisco quasi nulla ma mi sembra la mercedes f1 comincia piano ma quando accelera son dolori per tutti . ciao prada
My favorite team is “sailing”, but to sea Team UK come back competitive is just great.
Go *Rule 🇬🇧 Britania *Once More !
Better sailing ⛵team won today !
Shirley: "We've all done a lot of talking lately, .... THAT, is the biggest understatement this year.
bad pictures bad graphics no comparison to the last america's cup
what a turn around !!!
*Rita* didn't win any *NON counting RACES* but *WON Two COUNTING RACES* *WAY TO GO RITA* 🏴🇬🇧

Nice coverage, but I remember seeing a helpful graphic in the corner reading the separation between the boats. I would like that back, please!
To beg two wuns cannot be underistimatid
Kudos for the updated status indicators that are shown now a lot more often. That's some nice information to have. Just a suggestion: I often want to compare the same metric for both teams so showing e.g. wind speeds next to or below each other would facilitate that. Or maybe even inside the same gauge?
Looks like some more exciting racing to come. Britain can smile again.
@JustInverted Fpv Please slow down the cycling of all the data on screen next time. none of it stays on screen long enough to read.
THATS WHAT YOU CALL MAGIC :-)
Coverage is a lot better, but I still think TVNZ's is better...
Both are good. Comment by AC commentators here is very good.
at the start of this video the announcers were saying how many changes the UK team had made to their boat and listed those changes, everytime they named the change i could hear a cash register go "ChaChing"! The Brits must have spent Millions to fix their problems! Here's one of the issues I have about using these types of boats....... back before catamarans or foil racing, a leg of a race was 37km long (wikiped) and took several tacks and jibes, along with the "sail changes", to make their way from marker to marker. NOW.......I don't think the entire race is 37 km, the Brits today finished leg 5 of this race in FIVE minutes! the whole race took less than 45 minutes! Although the form of "racing" is fast and exciting, I prefer "True Sailing" to "foiling"!🦂
Great comment
Am I the only one who thinks that the UK team lowers the windward foil very late before a tack? Always have the feeling that they're already turning when the foil arrives in water.
When I first saw these boats I was not a fan. Too expensive, too fast, and not sailing, but flying. After watching the ACWS I am a convert. What amazing machines! I have discovered a new sport! 😋
I’m not a boat guy at all. Must admit I’m on a steep learning curve but wow, think I’m hooked now, fantastic stuff 👏🏻👍🏻
How come the US boat is so loud. Noisier then any other boat out there. When they jibe or trim, its like horor movie is played downstairs....Ineos simply class. So smooth in their on board movements, communication etc. Loving it so far. Go UK!
Today’s all about winning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....enough said to prove how dense some people sound.
Fellow New Zealanders, do we still like Dean Barker? Or do we consider him a traitor like Coutts and Butterworth?
Incredible how these boats evolve in a short time! Congratulations Team INEOS UK! FORZA LUNA ROSSA💪🇮🇹❤️
As with F1, Merc UK at Brixworth will have had all the mods ready and will have installed the boat's foil mods in a normal progression . No pit wall though. Get in there Ben!!!
WTF, great job
Phew. So glad we gave a 3 boat race! Congrats on your comeback Ineos! If you win, it'll make a killer sailing movie!
Fast yes, but quite a flawless piece of brain work.
What brilliant sailing Guys Ye Ha UK
Wouldn't it be great to see the wind force and directions on the course by some graphic designs like arrows or things like that ??
@Daryl Neal I think we've seen that on previous AC, but just before the start I think... Don't know why though.. I am sure they can make it easyly during the regatta... Just one or two times would be enough..
Agree. Sure past AC's have shown onscreen wind graphics.. 🤔 @AmericasCup2021
Thought they would get it together when it counts. Great tactics, good boat speed and slick handling. Go Britannia, Ben can do it now they have the tools.
INEOS was never slow in strong winds.. They were slow in light winds... No surprise here...
Britain was sandbagging.
Fantastic coverage. Thanks a million. Congratulations to Ben and the team for Britain.
Brits were sandbagging...
Luna rossa lost the race at last leg going to the left side instead of following ineos path.
nahhh ha perso la gara allo start quando spithill ha voluto fare inutilmente lo "sborone" cercando un ingaggio improbabile... bastava che virasse sulla destra quando era dietro a ineos e praticamente in controllo... deve aver dimenticato che è "sir ben"... uno che ha più oro olimpico addosso di chiunque altro... se gli funziona la barca ti fa vedere i sorci verdi... e pure blu!
Was it one of the New Zealand guys who said there were 2 credible challengers? Nobody puts Ainslie in a corner!
"there you f*cking have it lads". hehe
These boats are moving faster in the water than I'm allowed to on my daily commute in my 1500 HP super sports car !? LOL.
well done Team Ineos great start !!!!!!!!
Very interesting comment by Ben post race about thanking Mercedes GB which I think is the F1 team... Great move by Jim Ratcliff to use his INEOS Merc links to help improve the boat!!!
Yep I noticed that, Mercedes F1 are something else, smart move by Jim Ratcliffe...
Ben delivers! Great team effort esp by the shore crew....
Great Guns Ben and All the Team
YASSSS!
What's clear now is that if Ben and Giles have a competitive boat under them, they have the tactical smarts to outsail the others in the starts and on the course. They out-thought Magic and Luna Rossa here. Promising, provided they figure out their issues in light winds!
Fantastic!
Dean Barker is a traitor.
good work Sir Ben et al...amazing start ..bring it back to Blighty
Benjie and the boys killed it, God bless Rita and all who `FLY` her
Loving this
Amazing “boats” and technology but unfortunately the sailing , the F1 like multinational teams and the americas cup match racing magic is gone since foils were allowed. Interesting within its own context, but this should be called something else than the Americas Cup.
I think so too, this is fascinating Formula 1 sailing, but I would like more Tradition for the America's Cup, real sailors and real winches... ⛵
Congratulations bRITAnnia, Sir Ben, Team Ineos, Sir Jim. Perfect performances, brilliant starts and kept the focus on winning the races. Only downside? The awful grey team strip, they look like jailbirds! Where’s the smart navy with Union flag flashes? Please can I design something classic, practical and commercially viable?!
Well done Brits. Honestly too short and a little boring. I like strong match race with 10/15 tacks, close fights but I understand that is not possible with these torpedos.
Patience. Give it time @ CA Brand new fast evolving format. Lots to come. Racing should close up, become tighter.

IT'S JUST A CASE OF EDUCATING RITA.
