I've been really impressed with the coverage coming from Plymouth. The commentary is much better than in Cascais. The big breeze conditions really show you what the boats can do, and reward the teams that can keep the boat upright and the gear working.

Agree it seems like some of the teams are pretty green when it comes to cats, it was even more obvious in Cascais but the consequences weren't as great. Overall I think this was an eye opener to some of the teams but also to spectators and TV viewers.

My friend who has little sailing experience and his friend who has none were glued to the screen watching a replay of day 1. He said it was more exciting to watch than soccer and baseball, obviously way more physical. Thats my opinion too but since I'm an avid sailor I wasn't sure how non-sailors would respond. But it looks like they really enjoy watching it.

Exciting times to be sure.
