Luna Rossa, the Challenger on Record of the America’s Cup for the Auld Mug has released a 4 part series showing just how they plan to win the oldest trophy in the sporting world.
Chapter 1:
What does it take to win the America’s Cup? You need a boat, a team, and a lot of willpower. It’s this need to win that pushes a team to fight all the way to the end. The America’s Cup is a challenge against oneself.
Chapter 2:
How do you build a boat that flies? Luna Rossa is an amazing technological feat. Not only is she a boat, she is an ongoing challenge in constant evolution. Sailing her is a unique feeling, it’s almost like flying.
Chapter 3:
Designing a new class means experimenting, pushing limits to the maximum, until you reach the breaking point. But only when you know how far you can push can you understand from where to start again.
Chapter 4:
In an America’s Cup campaign time is the most precious commodity, where you have almost no margin for error. Time is also your worst enemy; the team works relentlessly around the clock to optimise every minute, she has to be back on the water as quickly as possible. But every day there is a new challenge to be faced.
