    Racing started at 12 on Saturday. Sunday has been called because of wind.

    Live streaming technology needs improvement. Videos impossible to view due to interruptions. Very frustrating.

    Sorry you had issues, although it is hard to say what was the problem with this limited description. We provide the live stream free to all. While we work to improve this free service please remember that we are unpaid volunteers who have spent a lot of our own time and money on this project.

    Many Kudos to the Pakradooni crowd for the great coverage of the big races. I can’t say enough about the extra effort they have put in to promoting boat racing.
    Many , many times in the past, I have had to take money away from my racing projects to go to the big races, and see what is going on. NOW, I get to watch the races , and work on my “Vintage” too.
    I remember the hydro coverage by ABC Sports [back in the '60s], and the new technology [internet] is as good if not better. Certainly the announcers are better informed.
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! & THX!
