FRA-93 of Areva Challenge arrives in Valencia
[Source: Areva Challenge] The level of excitement on the AREVA Challenge base in Valencia, Spain, has been growing these past few days, as an anticipated addition traveled along the 880 kilometer route which separate La Ciotat, in the South of France, from Valencia, the site of the 32nd America's Cup.
During the last six months, this newcomer has been under construction at Composite Works. To imagine the feelings of the AREVA Challenge team members this morning, remember back to when you were 5 years old and waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas morning… Dawn Riley, General Manager of the team, tried to keep everybody calm, but the same question came back again and again, approximately every 30 minutes: “when does she arrive???”
FRA 93, the new boat of team AREVA Challenge, finally arrived safe at her destination.
At 05:00pm today, the French team opened the large doors of their base, and welcomed the 40 meter truck with the present of FRA 93. She was covered with protective and quickly transferred by the team into the boatshed. She was shrink-wrapped in white plastic to protect her for the journey and from ‘prying eyes’. The team swiftly transferred FRA 93 into the shed where she will stay for the moment, hidden from curious eyes.
