Cagliari, the city that just surprises at every juncture, didn’t disappoint. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli launched the boat that every Italian fan, the sailing-mad ‘Tifosi’, hopes will win the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup and bring the trophy to the magnificent Island of Sardinia.
In front of Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli, the new boat was unveiled, blessed by a priest and quickly splashed. And what a beauty she is. Easily the best-looking boat of this cycle, retro-cool style is everywhere, with the silver sheen hull resonating in the early Spring sunshine, kicking off its heavily arched forms and its deep nod to deck aero.
