That hysteric commentator Niall is the worst thing happen to the total event… OMG
I was totally absorbed on Tuesday morning, not least because the tide played so much of a part in the action.
The next leg finishes up the Bristol Channel with the 2nd largest tides in the world, and I live a mile or so from it's coast. Hoping for a nice sunny day with little breeze and the chance to get some decent footage.
Enhorabuena ??♀️✨✨✨✨
How on Earth did MAPFRE pull that off??? Xabi Fernandez, tienes mi respeto.
I don't know why the sheeting, sails, and rudder can't be automated and the crew replaced with sandbags on lines to be winched from side to side, or even why they are still there with swinging ballast, stupid, unnecessarily labor-intensive way to sail about otherwise, but i guess idiots need to put on a show, so they have something to slur about at the yacht club. A tiny circuit board with a few gyros and a couple stepper motors or servos can fly a plane or balance a Segway scooter, and have for some years now, so the excessive size and crewing of sailboats coupled with tons of carbon fiber is some weird version of inbred, or retarded.
wow
that was quite a shot
Magic Mapfre, unbelievable comeback, amazing skill and stamina for this crew, with all the bad luck they had they still managed to win ! They just sailed through almost the whole fleet, that is really mind-blowing ! And on the other end of the ranking, more painful sailing by TTOP, their choice to go west of the exclusion zone put them directly downwind of the finish !
That was painful to watch. After this and the end of the first leg when one of the boats had to drag itself across the finish line using an anchor, I would like to suggest that each boat be equipped with a single sculling oar in future editions of this race.
Increíble final, FELICIDADES!
wow. just wow.
Terrible place to put a finish line on an ocean race ! even an americas cup wouldn't be there ! its and ocean race or a river race ?
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ENORME MAPFRE. GRAN TRIPU. GRANDE XABI
Helming a boat is an art and a special talent. Being a skipper is not enough. Having experience is not enough. You either feel it or not.
Great #MAPFRE MADE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE
The legendary Iberian sailors and navigators… everybody knows about the first voyage of circumnavigation of the Earth by the Portuguese Fernão de Magalhães (Magellan) and the Spanish Juan Sebastián Elcano!…..
Only in offshore racing can a team be soundly outperformed through 98% of the leg, and win it anyway. Lame.
GO MAPFRE!! Despite of everything you DID IT!! CONGRATULATIONS!
This one belongs on the all time greatest comebacks. Go Xaby. This is your year mate.
Well done MAPFRE! Hard work for the 8 person crew, electrical issues etc. Stunning finish 🙂
I was wrong about Brunel leader over all at this point, but good on them for the leg win!!!
Did some of those boats cut the corner and go into the exclusion zone before the video starts?
sound cuts out at 39:39, back by 49:30
