BMW Oracle's Extreme 40 ready to sail

There is no time to waste for BMW Oracle. The American team received their Extreme 40 yesterday morning and by noon today she was already on the water. Apparently it will not be long before she goes out for her first test sail on Valencia's waters.

If one is to believe the current rumor in Valencia, in about 40 days from now, Franck Cammas will be sailing a lot on that catamaran...
