It is not put together by BT Sport. They just broadcast it.
they do put together their own show and even had a reporter in Bermuda. I had the privilege of watching them put together the show on the Saturday from with in the studio and could see both the feed from ACEA and their own reporter.


Odd as I've seen sections of their coverage and it looked identical to the ACEA production to me, with the same commentators. Who was their reporter?

I am not sure the little flags showing speed are a good idea though. As is always the case with sailing the boats look much faster than they really are. It may confuse the general public when Moto GP (bikes) are exceeding 200 mph!

I did like the boats foiling on one foil with the windward foil retracted!

It was great coverage I thought and a decent show put together by BT Sport. They even extended the programme right up until the actual point of abandonment on the Saturday.

Anyway, Mrs Fleaberto is now insisting that we have various lines and markers drawn onto our water in order to help her out when she's racing
