We are now full-on in our preparation and are training on a down-scale model. There is a lot of expectation and curiosity surrounding the brand new AC75 class, on which the design team has been working for over a year.” Patrizio Bertelli, President of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, said, “As in all past editions, our goal is to win the America’s Cup and bring it to Italy. Since our first challenge, in 2000, we have learned a lot but also taught a lot and earned the respect of the international sailing community. In over twenty years of the team’s history, Luna Rossa has also been a school, providing opportunities for professional growth to sailors, designers and specialized technicians from all over the world.”Marco Tronchetti Provera, vice president and CEO of Pirelli, said: “The team presented today is truly excellent and I am very happy that Pirelli is in the front seat of this all-Italian challenge. It confirms our commitment to sports at the maximum levels, where we endeavour to contribute in the best way possible. This is what we are doing with Luna Rossa in this journey towards Auckland: our engineers are working side by side with the team in Cagliari to put together solutions that will make the AC75 fly even faster.”Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the event. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
