Luna Rossa Pirelli - Prada
Luna Rossa Prada - Pirelli is the Italian team that will represent the Circolo della Vela Sicilia yacht club in the challenge at the 36th edition of the America's Cup presented by Prada which will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, from March 6 to 21, 2021.
Led by Max Sirena, Skipper and Team Director, the Italian team will compete on board the AC75 "Luna Rossa", a revolutionary monohull that is 23 meters long and weighs about 6.5 tons.
More than 90 people, including 37 designers, have been involved in its construction for over two years, and 7,000 square meters of carbon fiber and 400 square meters of aluminum honeycomb have been used.
Mounted on the sides of the hull are the foils, the two "wings" that measure about 5 meters and allow Luna Rossa to "fly" over the water and reach speeds of over 90 km/h.
