Shosholoza unveiled this morning in cold and windy Valencia their overhauled yacht, RSA 83.

Despite being the oldest of the America's Cup yachts competing now in Valencia, it has undergone such a major modification that one could very well consider it as a "new" yacht, sporting a new bow, stern, appendages, mast as well as new sails.

The most visible change in the yacht was obviously of the bow because of the extent of the modifications and the presence of a bowsprit. The stern of the boat was also modified but the changes were significantly smaller than the bow.

According to Captain Sarno, head of the South African challenger, the team is very satisfied with the performance of the modified yacht. Despite this being her public presentation, Shosholoza's crew has been testing RSA 83 for a few days.

After a short speach by Captain Sarno and a brief photo session in the base, the team docked out and went on with their usual daily training activities.

A small calibration took place inside the harbor and after sails were hoisted, RSA 83 sailed off to a day of testing and training with excellent wind conditions.
