Dear friends:

 Recently I was in Valencia I had an hour left before going back to Sevilla to see a long desired sight in Valencia: the Swiss sailing base of Alinghi of the 32nd America’s cup. This is one of the most traditional sailing events of today’s world with a longstanding history of 150 years of excellence, power and traditions.

Not mainly because the team is Swiss based (although the team is very international), but my affection for this dynamic sport made me follow this event in 2007 closely with friends of Sailcom, my sailing club. Let us see now how they fare in 2010, where they will compoete with catamarans.

Check out the pics of the recent trip to the Alinghi base: Weather was very windy and a litte bit rainy…as it has to be as well on the sea
