Exciting news reaches us here at The Afterguard, courtesy of the eyes & ears of Pierre over at Valencia Sailing, who reports that TEAMORIGIN were seen afloat aboard GBR75 (PKA SUI75) in Valencia, Spain, yesterday (Saturday 14-7-07).

To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first time that TEAMORIGIN have set sail aboard their own vessel, and marks a significant moment in their bid for the 33rd and 34th America's Cups.
Well done Pierre for getting to the story first, and also for sourcing the images.
We're happy to acknowledge that Valencia Sailing got the break on this news here, and also to extend our enormous gratitude to Heike Schwab for her permission to feature these images, and our congratulations to her for being the FIRST!
So far, we're unable to identify the crew, but Pierre has other images and thinks he'll have some news soon - so keep an eye on his blog.
