For a live commentary tune into Peter Montgomery and friends on Gold AM (on iHeart Radio) or 1332 on a regular radio. A portable radio is highly recommended so you get a live commentary from the worlds leading yacht racing commentator, with access to all the various digital feeds.
We listened yesterday on the internet on the water, and even with a 30 second delay it was very, very useful information and completes the viewing experience for shore spectators. We’re taking a portable AM radio today to get the broadcast action in real-time.
Can’t recommend this commentary highly enough.
