Alinghi sails Extreme 40s in Valencia
[Source: Alinghi] Alinghi took the two Extreme 40 catamarans out for a shake down sail this morning in Valencia.
These light-weight, carbon fibre multi-hulled weapons were designed by Yves Loday, Herbert Dercksen and Mitch Booth with one thing in mind: speed.
Taking turns for the ride were Alinghi designers and sailors: Pierre-Yves Jorand, Luc Dubois, Dirk Kramers, Kirst Feddersen, Mike Schreiber, Kurt Jordan, Aaron Perry, Murray Jones and Pieter van Nieuwenhuyzen.
Don't forget to check the very nice video footage from today's first sail, on the Alinghi website

Interesting to notice how they finished the video with the BMW Oracle base... Let's see the response!

It's interesting.
Anyway If I was in Bertarelli's shoes I'd have started these testing a lot before than in January 2008!!
