The Alinghi building comes down, in Villeneuve, with Alinghi 5 seeing the first light of day. The ends of the catamaran can be seen, without the distortion of a wide angle lens.

Alinghi 5 showing the starboard hull and bow against the wall. the plastic wrap on the centre prodder is obviously so the media didn't hit their heads, not that there is anything they didn't want you to see on the end fitting.

Media were told that Alinghi 5 will have 20-25 crew - but that is more than double that carried in a VOR70, and about the same as a supermaxi of the same size, and four times that used on Le Black at 41ft (just under half the size of Alinghi 5). - Vicarage Photography Click Here to view large photo
