03 July 2007

Riding high on the success of winning the America’s Cup again and in its desire to bring the Cup to the people, Alinghi will be doing a ‘homecoming tour’ of Switzerland with the famous trophy starting in Geneva on the 8 July at the Parc de Eaux Vives from 17:00 onwards. This homecoming festival coincides with the 150th anniversary of the creation of the America’s Cup event and will be open to the public. From there members of the team and the America’s Cup will tour Zurich (10 July), Bern (12 July) and Lugano (14 July) to meet the public and recount the adventures of this victorious 32nd America’s Cup campaign. Additionally, the team will look to visit other countries and continents over the next few months to give sailing and sports fans worldwide the opportunity to see the Auld Mug first-hand and understand more about the unique and growing competition that is the America’s Cup.
