   The Port America's Cup spings to life (05/02/06)
  (sources : Valencia Sailing & Las Provincias)

With the deadline of 11th may 2006 fast approaching, time is running out for the syndicate.

Less than thirty days before the beginning of the LV Act 11, Dàrsena Interior is increasingly showing signs of life and preparatory activity :

-

the German future base is finally off the ground (the first steel beams are already visible) as the Team Germany began sailing immediately after the Christmas break ;

-

they were joined at the beginning of this week by the Italian +39 Challenge, who had their first sail of the year over the weekend ;

-

Not sailing yet, but showing signs of soon doing so are Desafío Español, Luna Rossa and Mascalzone Latino ;

-

the construction pace of the bases of Mascalzone Latino and Victory Challenge is incredible and it appears that the Teams will move to their new home before the next Louis Vuitton Acts.

Team China remains the exception so far, as construction of its bases has not started yet. In fact, the space allocated to the Chinese syndicate is still being occupied by local fishermen.
