Not watched all of it, but seems to have some interesting interviews with good footage from Aarhus

Definitely worth a watch. 

Sunset+Vine production, with Shirley Robertson presenting.  She has the inside knowledge having been there, got the badge and the ability to get it across in a way the general public could understand.

I thought it very well done.

Its a big step in the right direction, but I would have liked to see more sailing and also more equitable coverage of the sailors, rather than one team from each class being the focus.

I think they clearly picked the 'top' team from each class to follow and interview back in Portland, however at the world it just so happened a lot of the understudies out performed the previous top dogs. 

I know for instance they did film bits with James and Fynn in the 49er at Aarhus, but it didn't make the final cut. It would have made a good story coming back from a bad injury to beat a long term British rival on count-back. 

Also the Sophie's in the 49er FX, Ainsworth's split from Dobson, as Saskia Tidey came over from the Irish team raised a few eyebrows and left Ainsworth to re-unite with her helm from youth sailing days. They've since gone on to win the euros and now medal at the worlds ahead of Dobson/Tidey. A great story, but even more remarkable considering Sophie lost her mum this year.

I thought it was really good, and the Yoof sailing alongside Shirley as she introduced the Finn section was great for him and super exposure for his sponsors
