| The event: be there to watch the pinnacle of sailing
The oldest sporting trophy in the world... The America's Cup is a competition that is startling in its simplicity. At its heart, it is a duel between two teams. A simple match, you either win or you lose... there is nothing in between. Within this framework however is a beautiful competition rich in history, technology, personalities and drama. ... for the first time in Europe in 155 years! Thanks to Alinghi's phenomenal victory in 2003 Europeans now have, for the first time, the opportunity to watch the finest boats racing each other on the warm waters of the Mediterranean. The pinnacle of yacht racing can be witnessed from the beach of Valencia. Teams from the five continents The line-up for the 32nd America's Cup is the most diverse in its long history. 12 teams representing 10 countries from 5 continents are competing:
America's Cup activity in Valencia from now until the end can be broken down into two periods: Competition Time - during which all twelve teams will be racing every day on up to two race courses just minutes from Port America's Cup's harbour mouth, and during which time the America's Cup Park is alive and jumping with animation, people, and an electric atmosphere. Schedule 
Non-Competition Time - during which all twelve teams will be regularly training on the race courses, engaged in informal racing between each other and where the new and old bars restaurants and attractions of the Port America's Cup are constantly open. http://www.americascup.com |
