Transcript

00:00And it is the Aussies who are leading and they now take the whole shot.

00:10Yeah, I'm Dylan Fletcher, driver on board Emirates, GBR, SailGP team.

00:33Super excited to have a home event back in the UK and to be in Portsmouth on the 19th and 20th of July

00:39is going to be fantastic. There's grandstands with 20,000 people hopefully cheering us on with the British flag.

00:45So we're really looking forward to the home event and hopefully we can put on a good show.

00:59Yeah, so I'm Fiona Morgan, the Chief Purpose Officer at SailGP.

01:03And a bit about me, I love the ocean, I love sports and I love the planet.

01:08And so, yeah, very excited that we're back here racing in the UK.

01:12It's been a few years, but it's so exciting, I suppose, to bring, I live in the UK,

01:16to let my kids see the racing fastest, most adrenaline-fuelled racing on water.

01:21You have to see it to believe it. These boats fly through the water and they're powered by nature.

01:283.8 times the wind, no motor, all wind.

01:31So it's an incredible, great family day out, lots of fun, it's entertainment by the water.

01:36You can see the boats and it's so close to shore, it's not offshore like a lot of the sailing.

01:58And it is amazing. They're going nearly 100 miles an hour powered by the wind.

02:02I think people can't believe the engineering and how nature can make these boats fly.

02:08There's lots of boats in the race course, so we have 12 teams and there's lots of crashes.

02:13It is very dramatic. They're flying, turning, there's men and women on the boat, which is a big thing.

02:18So we have female athletes, one female athlete per team.

02:21So we're one of the only sports in the world that can actually have men and women racing together.

02:26And it's just an incredible entertainment product, it really is.

02:29And I do think it's like Formula One in the water.

02:56The original hat has canceled.

02:57Ukrainians So it's the perfect stuff, it's a huge piece.

02:58And I do think everyone owns a lovely ride.

02:59And some poor person on the boat, and I don't mind losing protection.

03:01And some people have been out there with the flying company.

03:02Nothing else is runningobile.

03:03And some Japanese patients're watching.

03:04And some people haveär confirms trying to see their self-like city as well.

03:05As long as they can partner with the blue spots, their friends, people have Paterson and sailors Newer.

03:06And some people have seeniska and this stuff like catch something.

03:07Because I think they're in the rain, they're gonna want to harvest.

03:09But somehow they're looking for the line with it.

03:10And some people have t・ bit-a-like assembly

03:11You can Ginny withids, they're falling Daar.

03:12T- griefs, and that are all but they're won.

03:13Oh, oh, oh, oh
