"Oceanlady delivered safely the team’s trimaran, rigs and support equipment" of the BMW Oracle Racing team writes Gilles Martin-Raget, the official photographer for the challenger of the 33rd America’s Cup. In more than one month, WindZilla will meet CheezeZilla, Alinghi’s giant catamaran for the DogMatch everybody is waiting for...
The team’s catamaran Alinghi 5, the masts and 20 support containers reached their final destination aboard the Cassandra B container ship on Monday afternoon after a 14 day voyage from the team’s previous base in Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.
Alinghi plans to start sailing in Valencia mid-month and will focus on training for the 36 days that remain until the 33rd America’s Cup Match.
“The voyage from Ras Al Khaimah to Valencia went smoothly and over the coming days we will settle back into our base in the Dársena. The team will focus on readying Alinghi 5 for the final training session ahead of the first race for the 33rd America’s Cup, which starts on 8 February,” said Grant Simmer, Alinghi design team coordinator.
