Taking advantage of Valencia's
beautiful spring weather, China Team unveiled this
morning the decoration of the team's new boat.
The decoration has been entirely designed by local
porcelain manufacturer Lladró and depicts a chinese
red dragon on yellow background together with colorful
waves, an allusion to the sea the Chinese boat will
be sailing in a few weeks.
The actual boat of the Chinese syndicate, CHN-79,
will be painted next week with the colors and designs
presented this morning, after being modified to
version 5 of the America's Cup rules.
Concerning financial and sponsorship issues, none
of the two parties desired to enter into details.
Nevertheless, according to China Team, the beginning
of construction of the permanent base is just a
matter of days if not hours, while they will start
building the new boat in China around July.
