The America's Cup begins in three days' time. All twelve Cup teams will compete in Valencia in the first of ten remaining so-called acts. The recently adopted new mode has upgraded last year's show events to important events.
Excitement is guaranteed because the points count from now until 2007. You can find out what to expect from which team in the special booklet enclosed with the new YACHT.
The topics: Defender Alinghi and the eleven challengers in a short portrait, the Cup city Valencia, details of the TV dates (ZDF will broadcast) and a column by Shosholoza member Tim Kröger.
Also in the magazine: a report from Match Race Germany, in which the German team led by Jesper Bank sensationally finished in second place.
In this portrait, the likeable Dane tells us how he got himself in shape for three Olympic medals, how he joined the German team and that he was actually planning to open McDonalds branches.
