Training in New Zealand for Prada’s Luna Rossa ITA 45 (winner of the last Louis Vuitton Cup) and Young America USA 53 and USA 58 ends in mid March, when the team will head back to the camp in Italy.
From late spring Francesco de Angelis and his crew will begin sailing in home waters with their brand new Luna Rossa ITA 74, the first of the two ACC boats that team Prada is building for their challenge to the XXXI America’s Cup.
