Excellent conditions and memorable moments on a spectacular day at the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 2
Valencia - 09-10-2004 - Fantastic racing conditions dominated the waters off Valencia on the first weekend of competition at the host city of the 32nd America's Cup. Stronger winds, clear blue skies, and a record-breaking schedule of 12 America's Cup matches made for an exciting day on the Gulf of Valencia and the local spectator fleet numbered into the hundreds. The 15 to 23 knot West winds, blowing offshore, proved hard on the boats, with many equipment problems spread across the fleet.
