To be honest, I only watched a handful of random videos due to an all-too-slow internet connection but there is no doubt in my mind that the RC44 footage sailed several boat lengths ahead of the X40 media.  Even though I knew the tests were fairly controlled, there were plenty of "baited breath" moments watching the monohull video due to...

Please use announcers and commentators who speak without that annoying British or New Zealand accent...... maybe someone who speaks American? Mono-hulls and close racing with some aerial viewing would be most appreciated too.

After watching both types of boats, I think it's pretty safe to say that while the multi-hulls looked faster..the mono-hulls created many more 'wow' moments. The closeness of the boats while racing was very intense and exciting. During actual competition I realize... [MORE]

Much has been said about the type of yacht to be used. I believe a monohull would be far more exciting to watch because of the potential for good TV.

The use of bowsprits vs spinnaker poles: if a less experienced crew mishandles a gennaker on a bowsprit, the worst that can happen is a blown gennaker or MAYBE a broken sprit. If it ... [MORE]

I found the RC443 clips to be much more exciting and entertaining to watch, especially from the stern mounted camera which gives a great angle of everything that's happening. The viewer can enjoy watching all the crew work (this angle makes it easy to explain to non-sailors what the crew is doing) along with boat-on-boat maneuvers. Unlike the... [MORE]

The highlights videos are great, which indicates once again that most of a sailboat race is boring to watch in any wind speed. The action is when boats meet, at the start, occasionally upwind and downwind, and at mark-roundings. The key to having exciting race video is to edit it. Don't emphasize live coverage, but do have a... [MORE]

Thanks for doing such a great job televising the last cup.  It was clearly tough to maintain the tension in such a lopsided contest. 

The next one should be much closer racing.  I feel that the monohull is a better platform for your cameras.  These boats are relatively stable, dry and have some freedom of moveme... [MORE]
