Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Prototype Day 17 Summary

The America’s Cup documentary team were down filming at the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli base today and out in the Bay of Angels and as far as footage was concerned, they couldn’t have wished for more action. With what Sailing Team Coach, Hamish Wilcox described as “a long river of wind blowing in from Gibralta,” the Italian LEQ12 headed out for a very blustery but short blast in the early afternoon – no place for cocktail dresses – but the team put on a mighty show nonetheless. 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
