China Team has now finished painting the hull of its boat, CHN-79, with the colors of the shiny beautiful dragon and transported it a couple of hundreds of meters from the temporary shed to the space in front of the future permanent base.

In addition to the hull, the deck has also be painted while the technical team has installed the systems corresponding to the winches and outfitting of the superstructures.

The team's schedule is to launch the boat on the 25th of April, leaving a scant two weeks for the red dragon and the crew to prepare for the Louis Vuitton Act 10 and face an uphill battle as during the first day of racing, China Team will have to sail against Luna Rossa and Alinghi.
