Actual race starts about 28 minutes in. Man, that's a short first leg!
It some ways it reminds me of Wednesday Night Racing with the tight race course.
The Greek boat makes quite a comeback.

Great coverage. Dig the onboard audio. The racing itself looks exciting enough for even non-sailors to watch.
I need to figure out how to stream this to my TV in 720HD...

Some of you may remember local boy done well Olympic Tornado Sailor Charlie Ogletree (and GBCA guest speaker during the GBCA Commodores Ball a few years ago!) he's racing on Team China

The technology in that coverage is amazing.  I watched the whole thing.  It's good to know that skippers/tacticians at that level pick the wrong side of the course sometimes!
