'An artist's impression of the new Alinghi multihull being built in Villeneuve, Switzerland from the Alinghi website. The illustration compares the approximate size and aspect of the new boat to the AC Class V5.0 yacht which won the 32nd America's Cup in Valencia and the D?cision 35 which races on Lake Geneva.

Be one of the 10 lucky people to preview the new Alinghi multihull

This is your chance to see inside the Alinghi base in Villeneuve!

We will be launching our giant multihull on Lake Geneva in early July and until then the boat will remain shrouded in secrecy. Having said that, we would like to give you the chance to see the new boat before the rest of the world!

On Saturday 4 July, we are offering 10 people the chance to visit our base in Villeneuve. We will welcome you to our VIP area where you will be given an exclusive preview of the boat.

To be in with a chance to be one of the 10 lucky guests, simply send us your name, telephone number, email address and address to webmaster@alinghi.com. Names will go into a hat and a draw will be made. The winners will be notified by 12:00 CET, Thursday 2 July.

Further information: Your visit will take approximately one hour and you will need to make your own travel and, if necessary, accommodation arrangements. Full details of the visit regarding timing, etc will be given to the winners upon notification.

Cameras, mobile phones, recording and other electronic devices will not be permitted.

(Editor's Note: Not sure if Alinghi have received an entry from Mr T Ehman, Mr R Coutts or Mr L Ellison, yet!)
