The match-race challenge to the 32nd America's Cup defence begins today. A prequel, actually the Louis Vuitton Cup Act 13, starts for the first time since 1852, with a fleet regatta. It will however resume to the terific match racing round robin in 16 April 2007. He're a few words from the huge link below...
"Racing in the Louis Vuitton Cup begins on Monday afternoon, with the first warning signal scheduled to fire at 14:05. 11 challengers from nine countries are racing for the right to battle Alinghi in the 32nd America’s Cup Match. On Saturday, the 11 skippers, along with Michel Bonnefous, the CEO of the organising body of the 32nd America’s Cup and Yves Carcelle, the President and CEO of Louis Vuitton Malletier, sat down with the media at the opening press conference.
Michel Bonnefous spoke of the success of the four-year programme of racing, with 13 Louis Vuitton Acts, which is a prominent feature of this 32nd America’s Cup. He said the event is expecting to welcome visitor number 2-million over this weekend preceding the Louis Vuitton Cup."
Pump up, big racing is about to begin.
