It's a tiny view but you can watch from the web cam from the St. Francis Yacht Club. I must be the only one watching since I've had free control to point the camera anyhere I want. All of you, STAY OFF MY WEBCAM!
Live broadcast on YouTube will begin at 4:30pm PST and include coverage of the Match Racing on tape, before switching to live coverage of the Fleet Races

Yesterday (Wednesday) was just KILLER to watch on this cam! Silly to say but it was like I was standing on the beach in SF. The weather was foggy, the wind was blowing, the water was rough, the boats were CLOSE and the bow spray was smokin'. I grew up in Marin and spent countless hours surfing nearby at Ft. Point and drinking Colt 45 out of a paper bag. That hometown beach view was so real I could smell the Bay and taste the beer. I just MUST be there for the 72s in 2013! We should organize a Catsailor Forum beach party for the 2013 finals. First round is on me (as long as less than 100 of you show up).
I'll be doing the YouTube thing at 4:30. Thanks for posting the full video time.
Booooo! 4:30 PST means 7:30 p.m. EDT and I will be at a Little League game. I hope they rebrodcast the YouTube match racing. Fleet racing is next and broadcast live I think. No cats visable on the web cam right now (5:15 EDT).
Andrew, only you would consider drinking 100 quarts of Colt 45, each in it's own paper bag (legal way to drink on the street in SF). Hey, 99 for you, one for me, OK? But only if you go to SF in 2013 for the 72s.

Reminded me of the guys you get on lower level division II college football games. Calling gibes tacks and how the skip needs to run across the trapeze to get to the other side were hilarious.
Bring back Mitch Booth and the other guy from the August races.

announcers may effect viewership, so it's important, but i put my big stereo on surround sound, and lower the front center (announcers) and hear the wind, the mic-ed up captain breathing hard, and screaming orders in surround sound ... and pay no attention to announcers ...

Where's Ashby? If NZ canned or shelved him that's a HUGE mistake. Best sailor out there.
edit: Found out he broke ribs in a capsize and flew home.

Jump to segment between 1:12:00 through 1:13:45. Terry Hutchinson and team escape a close call. Hutchinson has great presence to stay clear while keeping an eye on the mast coming down on them.(1:13:00 to 1:13:07). Great remote camera work!
The commentary sucks. It's like watching Dumb and Dumber. Every time Todd Harris sticks his foot in mouth, Jobson has to correct him. Get rid of these annoying clowns, at least Harris.
