The first Class America ever built in China will
carry the sail number CHN 95. The building of the
hull was completed in Dong Guan and validated by
Ken Mc Alpine, technical director of the 32nd America’s
Cup.
CHN 95 will be delivered directly to Valencia from
Hong Kong and is expected to arrive mid-December.
"We expect to be taking a big step in boat
speed and performance with the new boat," the
team skipper, Pierre Mas says. "We are happy
with the design and the build so far. We hope to
win some races and be in the pack fighting for a
win every day. Next year we will have some more
Chinese sailors and the standard of these sailors
is increasing all the time. We know we won’t be
among the top four, but I’m sure we will be competitive
with some of the others."
