The Livestream coverage of racing in the JJ Giltinan starts at 2:20pm (Sydney time) every race day, and the commentary starts at 2:30 featuring Andrew Buckland, Peter Shipway and Jim Bury from the SailMedia team, who are on the water and following the action.
As a form guide, yesterday's Invitation Race confirme that there is little between the top three teams Australian champion Andoo, defending champion Smeg and NSW champion Tech2.
Andoo's team of Seve Jarvin, Matt Stenta and Sam Newton officially won the race by 1m57s from The Oak Double Bay-4 Pines (Aron Everett, John Cooley and Charlie Gundy), with Lazarus Capital Partners (Marcus Ashley-Jones, Jeronimo Harrison and Cam Gundy) a further 1m47s back in third place.
Shaw and Partners Financial Services (Steve Thomas) finished in fourth place ahead of Yandoo (John Winning) and Balmain Slake (Henry Larkings).
There are no New Zealand boat competing in the event, due to COVID restrictions - which were partially only lifted last week permitting NZ entrants back into their country of residence without having to undergo a $3,100 stay each in managed Isolation and Quarantine - assuming they could obtain a place in the MIQ lottery of 30,000 Kiwis trying to get one of the 3,000 spots on offer.

- Race 2 Sunday
- Layday Monday
- Race 3 and 4 Tuesday
