The wind is terribly light at the moment in Cascais, but the video feed is excellent and very viewable!

the light wind is making things a ~little~ slow....great time to splice some back-up spin sheets and kite halyards in front of the computer.

I can't wait to see this in more breeze. The onboard audio and video is great. Still very entertaining even though the wind is around 5knots.

I presume they'll have similar coverage tomorrow. Looks like racing starts an hour later on Sunday...10am est. (I'm not completely certain)

Cool coverage today! Man, Mitch Booth looks a little unkempt lately.

Wow! I thought Tnz carried that tack a little too close to shore.

the speed runs are pretty cool. Wish we could see some stats stack up on a board as they finish.

Later this week, we move onto the fleet series/elimination that feeds the match racing events. Racing (and I presume continued online coverage) starts at 9:10am EST on Wed (Aug 10th) through Friday (Aug 12th). Thankfully, my iPad is connected to our guest WiFi network that doesn't block YouTube! ;-)

There's a bunch of stuff on youtube, but you have to dig around. It shows onboard footage of the races, so you get a sailors perspective.

Dude, that's Cowes. But it looks like the makings of a G-R-E-A-T rules thread.

Had a great time watching the AC45 coverage. Plugged the Xoom's HDMI into the home theatre and made a nice morning out of it.

I just finished doing the same. It's great to watch sailing on tv, even if it's not technically on tv.

Is there a schedule for the rest of the events anywhere?
