America's Cup to be raced in foiling monohulls, Italian Challenger of Record reveals The America's Cup is heading back to monohulls, according to Italian Challenger of Record Luna Rossa. Luna Rossa boss Patrizio Bertelli confirmed the move away from catamarans in an interview with La Stampa. He said the return to monohulls, albeit radical foiling ones, was a condition of Luna Rossa helping Team New Zealand win the last America's Cup in Bermuda. Posted Image Luna Rossa withdrew from the last America's Cup early in the Bermuda cycle, unhappy at the constant rule changes implemented by then holders Oracle Team USA. But they handed Team New Zealand a test boat and the services of several sailors and technical staff, including skipper Max Sirena who became Team New Zealand's technical advisor and part of the syndicate's management. The move helped the cash-strapped Kiwis with their successful development programme and kept the Italians in the game. It also continued a strong partnership between the New Zealand and Italian syndicates that included the Kiwis handing them design data for the 2013 Cup in San Francisco. Source Link |
