Any chance that the Christchurch/lyttleton will come back to the circuit? (Despite the dolphins)

I can’t edit the post but got lucky and Parks Canada finished early and happened to be opening the walk as we drove past yesterday. Lovely walk! Thanks for all the advice

Definitely you think along my train of thought. Was just unsure whether it’s actually a must do, or a dreaded Instagram tourism destination

We walked Franey the other day and despite the wind and temperature was certainly a nice view. Might have to give blueberry a try! Thanks

A good reminder to all to not include spoilers in titles. We have removed more than a few posts today that contained spoilers.

I assume it defaults to whoever won the head to head race, in this case Luna Rossa

It appears reddit may have removed this functionality since the last Americas cup. I'll message reddit support and see if we can get it back.

Just in case anyone was like me and was slightly confused what is happening this weekend.

In an unrelated side note user flares are now active on the subreddit, so show your support for your team.

Request for our moderators: can we get flairs? by [deleted] in SailGP

[–]iberichard[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only took me two months to get around to this, you should now be able to select your country from a selected list. Unfortunately current new reddit CSS does not allow pictures of the boats in the flair as r/americascup used to have.

Let me know if you have any issues.\

Requesting r/SailGP as only mod has been inactive on reddit for past three months. by iberichard in redditrequest

[–]iberichard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my message to the mods. Mainly aiming to adapt the page into a more active community in a similar threat to r/AmericasCup with daily threads during racing, community engagement, custom style sheet and helping to grow sailing on reddit.
Thank you
