The "Red Dragon" CHN-95 just arrived in Valencia ..
It was a very busy day in Valencia with America's Cup yachts coming and going. The first ever Chinese-built America's Cup yacht arrived early in the morning in the commercial port and after being loaded on a truck it was shipped to the Valencia Yacht Club.I wish I could publish all the photos I took but for obvious reasons not all of them were cleared by China Team. After all, one doesn't have to be greedy since Santa Claus is bringing early Christmas gifts to all America's Cup fans in Valencia and around the world. On Monday, 18 December we expect the arrival of Luna Rossa's ITA-94 while two days later, on Wednesday, the brand new Spanish yacht ESP-97 will move from the King Marine boatyard to the team's base. Just like they did with ESP-88, the Spanish challenger will "parade" the yacht through Valencia's main avenues. Finally, sometime around Christmas, NZL-84 and NZL-92 are reported to be flown in from Auckland.

I think it's pretty obvious that the boat will have a bowsprit due to the shape of the bow.
chn95 seems to be like a shoes box, and a lot more "square" than the other acc that valencia sailing have published ?
