Meanwhile in Valencia...Alinghi ready to start training

It didn't take long for the Swiss to get their boat ready for training. We first saw SUI-100 out of the shed on Monday morning and by noon it was masted. From what we understand, the America's Cup defender will start their training sessions for the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series on Tuesday.

Stay tuned for full coverage of the practice races of, hopefully, ALL teams tomorrow. For that reason, there will probably be no update until late in the afternoon, after we dock in from a day on the water.
