What is this?
Greetings from cold and windy Valencia. Yesterday's snowfall already seems to be a distant memory and the venue of the 33rd America's Cup woke under blue and clear skies and a great sunshine. Nevertheless, conditions are far from benign. A very strong westerly breeze is whipping the city, something that will, undoubtedly, make the life of Alinghi's BMW Oracle's shore crews difficult today. We will have photos as well as a very interesting interview shortly. In the meantime, can you guess what these people are carrying in the photo?

Well it looks like they are Constructing the wing in Valencia is that OK... unless its a new one being built in US... then its a waste of time and money as it will not make it here for the 8th Feb any way...

POP toot toot
...well there´s a difference between constructing something and repairing something that got broken in transit ... meantime they can get that 3M drag reduction film applied to the hulls ...
POP toot toot
NOT A SAIL..... therefore lets go back to NY
Looks like a chubby guy watching some people construct something in Valencia
repair is ok in VLC prod=vided they only rebuild what existed prior to despatch from SD. If they add material to reinforce the defect over and above what was originally constructed in USA then that would NOT be permissible according to thier OWN COMPLAINT against Alinghi re sails !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and by the way - is it an act of CONSTRUCTION to substantially modify the drag characteristics of the hydro interface for the hulls the way they are doing ??????????????????????
This photo is from San Diego. Nobody has been wearing shorts and t-shirts in VLC for the past week or more - it's freezing.
lOOKS LIKE SUMMER ON THE WEST COAST OF GOOD OLD USA!
TUGBOAT SURE IS FAT
its tugboats gut, the biggest thing in the picture!
