Valencia Sailing published the first images of CHN 95, the new Chinese America's Cup boat, sailing in Valencia.

After her arrival from the boatyard on December 15, the technical department and shore crew of the China Team carried the fitout of the appendages and deck of the yacht.

Today CHN 95 docked out of the China Team base for the first time in order to embark on a test sail.

It was magnificent weather in Valencia, 20°C on the thermometer, a light breeze between 5 and 8 knots at the beginning, a wind which would pick up progressively towards the end of the end of the day up to 20-23 knots and a good sea.

"We sailed about two hours, first with the genoa only, then with only the mainsail and finally with the genoa and mainsail", explained Pierre Massé at the end of the day. "Everything went well. The boat doesn’t seem to have any problems. Now we are going to be able to move to another stage, finish a few jobs and then develop CHN 95…..that will be really good".
