23rd of November 2017 – In
view of the 36th America’s Cup, scheduled to take place in New Zealand
in 2021, the team Luna Rossa Challenge will commence its preparation in
the waters of Cagliari (Sardinia – Italy) with a TP 52 Class yacht - one
of the most performing and challenging racing classes - with whom it
will participate in the 2018 TP 52 Super Series.
The program for this project will be
developed in two phases: a preliminary training – from February to May
2018 – on a provisional TP 52, while the final yacht is under
construction at the Persico boatyard in Bergamo (Italy). During this
period about thirty of the best young Italian sailors will be involved
in the training in order to develop a new generation of top level racing
sailors and expand the Luna Rossa sailing team.
During the
second phase - which will start in May 2018, after the launch of the new
boat – the team will continue its preparation in the waters of the
Adriatic Sea, with the fine-tuning of the new TP 52. The final training
of the racing crew will also take place in the Adriatic Sea, where the
first races of the TP 52 Super Series will be held, with Francesco Bruni
at the helm.
