XXXII AMERICA’S CUP: THE CUP IN EUROPE
After having disputed two challenges under the Punta Ala burgee, Luna Rossa chooses Genova for this third campaign, a city that boasts the most ancient yacht club in the Mediterranean.
Of the twelve teams challenging for the trophy, Luna Rossa is the first to set up its base in Valencia, the city chosen to host the thirty second America’s Cup. The team base is the elegant building designed by architect Renzo Piano, whose walls are entirely lined with used mainsails and jibs, a strong statement that proves the Italian team’s environmental commitment.
After having defeated the American team Oracle 5-1, also thanks to the young and talented James Spithill, Luna Rossa finishes its campaign in the Louis Vuitton Cup final, after five hard-fought races in which Emirates Team New Zealand gains the upper hand.
