Here in Malmoe each team has its own 50-meter dock, long enough to accommodate two weather boats, a chase boat, the tender and the yacht. Being at the ends of the paddock, Alinghi and BMW ORACLE have their own docks. Other teams each share either side of a dock. In accordance with AC 32 rules, at each venue (including Valencia) teams choose their base locations in order of their entry into AC 32. As the defender, Alinghi is first; then the Challenger of Record (BMWOR), then +39, etc. Last to challenge was China Team.



View from the end of our dock looking back to the Paddock: in the foreground are Weather 1 and 2, then Captain Craig Christensen's Chase 1, and behind that our Tender. Chris Roberston will again be driving the tender here in Malmoe. 76 is in the background along the breakwater, waiting to be lifted out. Note the building in the far left -- that is the brand new "Turning Torso" apartment building...



...which coincidentally was designed by Valencia's noted architect Santiago Calatrava, who also designed most of the structures in the City of Arts and Sciences in VLC.
