Alinghi giant catamaran is seen airlifted settled above Montreux on July 8, 2009. Swiss America's Cup defenders Alinghi launched their giant catamaran for a duel against US rival Oracle by airlifting it into Lake Geneva on Wednesday. In the 30-minute operation, the 90 foot (27.4 metre) gangling twin-hull craft was hoisted out of the boatyard at Villeneuve, western Switzerland by a huge Russian MI-26 transport helicopter and brought five kilometres to its temporary port on the lake.
