SailGP

Watching this on CBS Sports Network (DTV221) and I am impressed. Short Grand Prix course, high speed sailing with SOTA sailing cats. Collisions are common.

Me likey.

Been watching as well. Pretty badass. 50 knots is impressive

Caught it last weekend and it was awesome. Those boats are incredible. Like the way they shoot it and use the graphics. Makes it much easier to tell what’s going on.

I used to have vintage 18’ Olympic A class catamaran. These things are in another galaxy but that thing was a blast.

A YouTube channel I follow got to spend time behind the scenes with SailGP in New Zealand. The fucking sound they make at speed is insane.

That’s a very good sailing/travel channel.  Colin McCrae, the owner, has been on several seasons of Below Deck. Good mix of adventure, sailing and perils of boat ownership.

I know quite a few of the sailors in the SailGP league. It's a good overall program.

Very cool episode this week of Parley Revival as Colin gets to go on practice session with Canada’s SailGP team. Some great behind the scenes stuff.
