Testing, testing, testing on “Inside Alinghi”

“Inside Alinghi” on Eurosport gets back into the two-boat testing program in Valencia, following a hectic and highly successful 2005 racing season. You can also watch Alinghi crew members, Rodney Ardern and Curtis Blewett cross the start line in Vigo, Spain, on Pirates of the Caribbean for the most challenging offshore race in the world, the Volvo Ocean Race. Plus the UBS Alinghi Swiss Tour finals come to the home of the 32nd America’s Cup where six crews will fight for the title of 2005 Swiss Match Racing Champion out of the Alinghi base in the Dársena Interior.

And Pieter van Nieuwenhuyzen, Alinghi bowman, describes what his position involves and the pressures on him to get the timing right.
