More Show Boat

Another in a series of ACC yachts on recent display around the world as what we like to call "show boats." This is UITG's GER-52 at this week's Düsseldorf Boat Show. 52 was built for the 2000 Cup in Auckland by the Japanese syndicate, Nippon Challenge, and served as a training boat of the British syndicate, GBR Challenge, in the last Cup. UITG's new ACC yacht, GER-89, is now under construction in Kiel. Skipper Jesper Bank (DEN) appears to be both on the TV screen and live (foreground, center). Good for the Cup, and UITG!
