Shame that the Olympics sailing coverage was nowhere near the quality of this

I could get it up to the end of the semi finals, but not any more, unless I'm getting something wrong?

There was a link from youtube, type "Americas cup live coverage" in youtube search and it brings up a link to BT sport.

It stopped being free to air at the end of the LV semi-finals. Now only available live to BT Sport subscribers.
Highlights shows the following days on BT Sport Showcase (Freeview Channel 115) and BBC2 I believe.

Am I missing something?
"The first 12 days of live America’s Cup combat, featuring the qualifiers and the Challenger Playoff semi-finals, will be made free-to-air, along with nine subsequent full day replay shows from the Challenger Playoff final and Match stages."

No I don't think you are!
Sailing people who for the most part are tech savvy are having problems watching, what chance have none sailing people. |

Only been able to watch the highlights and re-runs but it, for me, has been pretty exciting so far as an AC. I know the old guard will never come round to the new boats and racing format, but it has been better for sure than I ever thought it would be. I hope the AC50's stay for the next iteration so that we can see their real true potential when developed further. Looking forward to the start of the finals on Saturday

Too late now, but a lot of people did need to retune their signals to get that channel to work properly, so it could have been that.

It's interesting to look at what is happening in sailing itself to see if the AC is having an impact. Y&Y's National Attendance Table shows us that in this century multi sailing at national level peaked in 2001-2003, with 415-432 boats or 8.2-7.9% of the total number of boats at nationals. Over the last three years, multi sailing at national has attracted 351, 266 and 249 boats, or 7.5%, 6% and 6.1% of the total. The 351 figure seems to have been a bit of an anomaly, with the previous two years getting 320 and 323 boats. The total number of boats at nationals has dropped by about 20% in that time, with the biggest drop in the four years since the first foiling-multi AC.
So...multihull sailing has become a smaller part of a shrinking sport since multis arrived in the AC. It rather makes a mockery of the many who have spent decades claiming that multis would take over once they were allowed in the major events. It also makes it hard to back up any claim that having amazingly fast boats in the AC would attract people to the sport.
