Has to be the most open JJ for years.

Starts this weekend and with a couple of Brits in it as well.

I cant believe no one has bought the subject up on hear yet, its still some of the most entertaining sailing TV, all be it on line.

I've been watching it every week! Best sailing on the Web.
I do agree it could be very open, Smeg if it's windy, Lumix with wing mast could come into play and then you've got the top 2 TF and 7 (If they can repair the boat)
The two commentators are great!

In a sport where it's in the norm to not know which boat is winning, it still amazes me how three blokes in a boat can convey such great racing each week and seemingly with very little effort. 

I suspect the big difference is acceptance from the fleet that there's going to be a camera boat up their arse from time to time. Can't image Sir Ben being so tolerant!

Love it.

love the commentary, the harbour is a fantastic backdrop to the racing and they do a great job, considering how stretched out the fleet can get... looking forward to the JJ and good luck to the Brits!

Certainly is worth a watch, and more so because of the commentary.

Watching Race 7 right now. A reminder of how good you can make coverage with just a single camera boat and small team. It's all about the knowledgeable, non-patronising commentary

It was fantastic coverage, of a fantastic event. Could you imagine how dreadful it would be if Mr Olympic commentator had the mic
