GC32 / Alinghi, Spindrift, ... GC32's racing on the Rade de Marseille next week

With new teams, new sailors, new race management and officials joining in the 2015 Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour, those involved will be taking part in a Test Event in Marseille, France over 20th-26th April.

Alinghi takes off in 2015 "The GC32, as with the D35 and the X40, is a strict one-design class"

Alinghi, created by Ernesto Bertarelli, won the America’s Cup in 2003 in Auckland under the colors of the Société Nautique de Genève. In doing so, it set a double precedent in the history of the world’s oldest sports’ trophy: A first victory at a first attempt; and the first “European” team to bring the “Auld Mug” back to the continent since the first competition in 1851.
