The pair delve into the implications of the crash, safety concerns in the league, and the need for changes in race formats.

They also analyse some individual team performances – including the Americans, French, Australians, Italians, and the Spanish – and discuss the impact of several onboard technical issues on some of the teams' performances.

They also explore financial aspects of SailGP, including team valuations and potential future developments in the league, and speculate on whether the spilt-fleet format is now here to stay.
