America's Cup - Video from the Great Sound - May 23

by MyislandhomeBDA/Richard Gladwell on 24 May 2017
Artemis Racing vs Emirates Team New Zealand sailing on Bermuda's Great Sound racing in the lead up to the 35th America's Cup Hamish Hooper/Emirates Team NZ http://www.etnzblog.com
Latest video coverage Bermuda's Great Sound as the teams sail in fresh breezes with two days to go to the start of racing.

Emirates Team NZ had a minor debris strike during their race with Land Rover BAR and the Kiwi team opted to pull out and check, rather than continue in the practice racing.

However according to Predictwind.com the breeze will be gusting to over 30kts at race time (5.00pm local time) on Friday May 26, and unless the forecast changes, racing is unlikely to take place with a 24kt wind limit in place, and the Regatta Director has the discretion to lower that limit is conditions are deemed to be unsafe for sailing AC50's on the Great Sound.

These videos are shot and produced by Jason Smith, who apparently lives on a bit of shoestring, and has put in hours every day to keep fans up to date with the latest from Bermuda. Multiply by a factor of four the duration of each of these videos, and you have an idea of the amount of time involved for Jason to bring you these every day. It's a big commitment.
