United Internet Team Germany to focus training with other challengers

[Source: United Internet Team Germany] The tension in the Port America’s Cup in Valencia is building: In only two weeks Louis Vuitton Act 13 starts. Until then all teams have to train intensively to be prepared for the last pre-race before the official start of the Louis Vuitton Cup – so does the United Internet Team Germany: “We have eleven sailing days ahead of us and we want to seize every one of it”, says Lutz Patrunky.

+39 Challenge will be one of the opponents for the German team during training in the last two weeks before Act 13

The coach of the German team is responsible for the organization of the training within the team. “I will try to arrange as many practice races against the other teams as possible. This is the best possibility for training manoeuvres, tactics and boat speed. There won’t be very much training between GER 89 and GER 72 anymore”, says Lutz Patrunky.

In every training regatta the crew is giving everything to be prepared best for Act 13. In the pre-races Cup Defender Alinghi will meet the eleven Challenger teams for the last time. All twelve teams will be racing in seven fleet races.
