How To Watch Olympic Sailing and West Coast Locals

It was rain-soaked pomp and circumstance, sporting celebrities, pyrotechnics and haute couture on the River Seine on Friday as the Paris Olympic Games kicked off in dramatic, completely over-the-top fashion. Our social media feeds blew up with the colliding of sporting worlds, as the United States’ 13 Olympic sailors — including a few West Coasters and Richmond Yacht Club members — rubbed elbows with an abundance of athletes and megastars.

Thirteen US Olympic sailors will be competing in Marseille, France, over the next week and a half, including three Bay Area locals: kiter Daniela Moroz, 49er crew Hans Henken and Nacra 17 crew David Liebenberg.

With the West Coast/European time differential, it’s going to be some very early (or very late) viewing. NBC’s streaming service Peacock has an excellent sailing selection on tap for the next week-plus.

Here’s the official schedule from US Sailing:

We here at Latitude 38 are incredibly proud of the US Sailing Team and the local sailors competing at the games. We wish them luck in the quests for medals!
