Luna Rossa flew to the final. Flown because these boats seem to fly on water and because 4 days of racing were enough to reach the seven victories that were needed to conquer the Prada Cup, the selection of the challengers to the oldest trophy in the sport, and reach the final of America’s Cup. Only a success for the English team Ineos.
The controversy over an alleged offense of the Team Prada (the jury did not accept the English appeal) and the requests for postponement of the races for the cases of Covid did not serve to slow down the Italian boat, always clearly superior.
After 21 years, the Italy of sailing returns to the final and for the third time the possibility of taking home the America’s Cup, the most coveted among the trophies in the world of sailing, is played. It had happened in 1992 with Il Moro di Venezia and in 2000 again with Luna Rossa. Like 21 years ago, he will face the hosts of Team New Zealand in the America’s Cup final (36th), from 6 to 15 March.
Once again in the Hauraki Gulf, in Auckland, on the other side of the world that seems even more so because here the Covid is no longer there and images of hugs without masks arrive.
“It’s a great day for Luna Rossa and for Italy”, said the Palermo helmsman Francesco Bruni, “now we can start thinking about New Zealand. Today we were perfect but we know that if we want to beat the hosts, we need to improve even more ». “A good day at the office,” added Jimmy Spithill, Prada’s other helmsman. The team of skipper Max Sirena faces the toughest battle, but not an impossible challenge.
