CAGLIARI – The new Red Moon is all silver. Max Sirena, team director of the Italian America’s Cup challenge, promised that the new boat “would leave you speechless from an aesthetic and design point of view”, and he kept his word.
The launch of the new Luna Rossa
When Miuccia Prada pronounced the fateful phrase “I christen you Luna Rossa” during the launch of the Cagliari base, the canvas revealed a shiny AC75 monohull which also promises visual emotions in the next edition of Barcelona. Satisfied Patrizio Bertelliwho personally chose the color referring to the first boat renamed Silver Bullet, and also Marco Tronchetti Provera, CEO of Pirelli closely linked to the Italian team, expressed his approval. Big party and stadium cans on the Cagliari pier, where the sailors greeted the new Moon with the families who live at the base of the Ichnusa pier.
Luna Rossa, the launch: “Like the birth of a child”
“It’s like the birth of a child” commented Max Sirena, “it took nine months to create it and it’s not easy to get 130 parents to agree. The first thing he said to me Bertelli was: “Max, now let’s put the boat in the water and work”. In the first days of next week Luna Rossa will begin racing, with elements still dating back to the last edition such as the 2021 foils. Then will come the latest evolutions granted by a regulation that allows the construction of only one boat. The objective is the Louis Vuitton Cup 2024, from 22 August to 5 October, to select Emirates Team New Zealand’s challenger in the America’s Cup. Soldini shows amazement: “This boat is a bomb”.
