New America's Cup boats

We are preparing yet another section on our website where one will be able to learn everything there is know about the construction process of an America's Cup boat.

We are also sorry for not posting interesting and exciting news and photos every day but there has been hardly any action at all in Valencia during the last couple of weeks. All teams keep training but rain and unstable weather make it more difficult each day. We also wish we could wander around the north and south race courses, taking nice photos of the boats training but we can't.

In the meantime, the stream of news about yet another sail number being allocated to a boat under construction is continuous. Some teams have made their sail number public, others even showed photos of the hull under construction, as was the case with CHN-95 of China Team. On the contrary, others kept the status of construction secret.

Still we have been able to learn that Mascalzone Latino Capitalia Team received number ITA-94, BMW Oracle's new boat will flash the number USA-98 on their mainsail and Luna Rossa just got ITA-99. This info must always be taken with a pinch of salt but whatever the case, the current America's Cup class that started in 1992 will have its 100th member very soon.

The expected arrival of all these brand new yachts will make the period from Christmas to February very interesting in Valencia !!
