At 10:00 on Saturday morning, the 24-metre hull left the shipyard of Desafío Español 2007 in Alginet, about 25 kilometres from Valencia. The boat crossed through the city, turning heads en route to the team base in the Port America’s Cup.

The team has to tune the boat, and has announced that they will use the older ESP 65 in the Valencia Louis Vuitton Acts 10 & 11 which begin in less than two weeks.
