Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Prototype Day 16 Summary

The envelope is being pushed. The modifications are coming onstream fast. And today, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s sailors had the pedal to the floor on a perfect day of training on the Golfo degli Angeli in Cagliari. When the wind came in, it was sublime to watch the team click together with very smooth flight control, full commitment through the tacks and gybes and solid transitions afterwards. Section 41. Reconnaissance a) As a campaign cost reduction measure, COR/D has mutually agreed to cooperatively implement a centralised reconnaissance programme for all teams for the reconnaissance of all Competitors’ AC75 Yachts, AC40 Yachts and LEQ12 yachts including both on-land and on-water imagery (the “Joint Recon Programme”). b) Each team is assigned a two-person Recon Unit to follow their every on-water move, but it's not that simple. The cameras are supplied and identical for all Recon Units. Drones are not allowed, and they can't get that close, plus following a boat and keeping a camera steady at 45 knots isn't that easy to begin with. c) A three minute interview follows each on water day, and teams must answer the Recon Unit's questions while trying not to give too much away. It's a raw, unedited view of the never before seen behind-the-scenes development of a team and their boat to win the oldest trophy in international sports. #AC37Recon #AmericasCup #Barcelona2024
