South Carolina | This stream works fine on iphones and ipad. Youtube is builtin to iOS.
Whats the problem? Regular YouTube videos do (I believe they use HTML5 for video)...but their streaming feeds are apparently flash based...which will not work on iOS devices. I've tried the youtube.com/live URL and can't get any of the feeds there to load (but I can view any other normal YouTube video). I get a slashed-out play button when viewing a live stream YouTube window on Americascup.com or an eternally spinning "loading" icon on the YouTube live site. So was the match racing good? I was really interested in seeing how that worked out.

| Yeh, from what I could tell.  They split tacks several times and Spithill zigged when he should have zagged. ETNZ pulled away about half way up the course on the last leg to windward. Boat speed seemed identical. All in all I think it was a hell of a lot more competitive than any AC racing I've seen.

I was watching the AC coverage live over 3G on the iphone from the car during the drive home (yeah probably not the safest way to watch) and at home on the ipad waiting for my laptop to boot. Cant get any of the current YT Live stuff to play though, maybe some sort of temporary technical problem going on at YT now. The matchrace was awesome, on the last downwind leg Spithill made a mistake which cost him a lot of meters. Fleetraces where good too, good performance by Korea. | | | Re: America's Cup Cascais Coverage

My cable was so bad I could only get 2 second glimpses.

| A new word: wobbly.
Pete Greenhalgh, Energy Team, on a ‘wobbly’ day: “We got a penalty from Spithill at the first mark as we were rounding first and he was just inside us. He was very aggressive in luffing us. We had let the wing go, nothing left to do. We were on the wobble, about to fall in. Very close. As soon as you let the wing go and there’s no flow, then it works against you, it’s dead weight, it will pull you in. Two wobbles today. A capsize would have been embarrassing.”

42.904444 N; 88.008586 W | So, what happened to China Team on the penalty?
They have to stay in the boundaries, right?
Then isn't that an obstruction?, and they had to tack, making anyone on St. behind must tack also?
And a slow sown time penalty on the water? wow
Watched the replay, looked they they could have held their course and cleared, guess not.
