CHN-95 China Team's New Boat Sails

Today in Valencia, China Team's brand new IACC yacht left the Port America's Cup for her first sail on the Mediterranean. The breeze was offshore 12-15knots. So nice weather to do the structural tests required before combat with the other teams.

One of the more interesting features of the Chinese boat is that she has a bowsprit. This is now the fourth team to sprout a sprit. BMW Oracle, Alinghi, Shosholoza, Team China
