Five more knots and this is the best event on the circuit | Geneva SailGP Debrief

Yeah, they did a really good job and the breeze sort of came in better than I thought it would do.

I really wasn't expecting very much from this weekend.

But you just get the sense that if...

Five more knots and Geneva would be one of the best events on the circuit, wouldn't it? And tomorrow, Monday, it's going to be amazing, apparently.

But that's sod's law, isn't it?

Is that right? I mean, I know that when the team showed up here and started building the boats and everything on Wednesday and Thursday, the chat was that it was 12 knots and beautiful.

And then it shut down for the three days that SailGP were in town.

And you're saying it's back up to 12 knots tomorrow?

That's how

it's

been.

I was going to say the worst of all worlds, it wasn't the worst of all worlds because we actually saw some pretty decent racing today.

That final, we can come to that in a moment, but I actually quite enjoyed the final.

There were some really good moves in that.

The final was brilliant and the last qualifying races, and we've banged this drum, or I specifically have banged this drum all year, that the split fleet racing keeps more boats alive going into the last qualifying race.

of their group than the old format.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's great.

Both final races in Group A and Group B, every single position mattered.

And that's what we're seeing, mate.

The split fleet format is brutal, isn't it? It is brutal.

It just comes down to one or two things, sometimes just one single thing that you did or didn't do.

And, you know, Emirates GBR, they did well in their first race.

They thought that was going to be their only group race.

I think they were second in that.

And as they crossed the line, you could hear Dylan Fletcher say, I hope there's not going to be another race.
