3 hours ago3 hr What am I missing? No videos, something is trying to get me to sign up for a vpn. Is it me?
2 hours ago2 hr Nothing 'live' yet! If you got onto Facebook and search for IOM World Championship 2026 you will get about 2 minutes of recorded 'testing' before the boats are called off the water prior to the first seeding race starting at 10am. Nothing 'live' after that so far and the YouTube channel currently shows 'No Content'. I had heard that there might be a 'highlights' show later in the day at some point rather than live video but your guess is as good as mine!
2 hours ago2 hr If you click on the link in the channel description you get taken to a proprietary link which requires login and needs your credit card for 'validation'. Not handing my credit card details to some random website. Not impressed. Always thought that the Gladstone Worlds coverage would take some beating and Datchet seem to have failed from the get go for me. Perhaps someone can explain?

Perhaps someone can explain?I read a short while ago on the MYA Downwind FB page that the intention now was not to live stream but to show a recording of each race as soon as possible after it was finished. 4 fleets I believe so as the first race started at 10am then you would think that all 4 heats would have been sailed by now but no video yet. Maybe they're all in the protest tent after heat 2 ? !! Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by SimonCornes
1 hour ago1 hr The website I was directed to was NBC Sports. Looks like someone decided to monetise coverage. They need a credit card to validate which country you are from as NBC are not permitted (by who?) to stream everywhere, apparently. The blurb says you wont be charged for access. Not going to provide my credit card details and disappointed that coverage is evidently going to be geographically restricted to some extent.
