More pics out this morning. There's some considerable doubt with the 3 ton weight...perhaps that's just the hull and beam platform. Decent article up at Sail-World by Gladwell who has really been keeping on top of all things AC related (although he wasn't invited to the closed "embargoed" press release by Alinghi...presumably because he tends to favor the American/BMWO perspective).
Also note that they have also released info about the Russian helicopter they are bringing in to lift the boat to the water (and presumably air lift it all the way to the Mediterranean since Switzerland is land-locked). If it only weighs 3 tons, why did they need the biggest heavy lift helicopter in the world?
