America's Cup is a privately owned entity headquartered in New Zealand. Founded in 1851, the organization has approximately 100 employees and is primarily associated with water sports. The America's Cup is recognized as the oldest trophy in international sport, originating in 1851 when the yacht America won a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K., leading to the trophy being named after it. The trophy was subsequently donated in trust through a Deed of Gift. Historically, only four countries have won the America’s Cup. The trophy is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland, following a defense by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.

With near perfect conditions of flat water and a thermal breeze of 11-13 knots that faded to around 8-10 knots offshore, Luna Rossa began with a tow-to-fly and then got loose on a downwind leg with the recon team recording that “the boat did not appear fully in control.” A big windward heel ensued after a rudder stall, and the coaches came in for a chat.

LUNA ROSSA AT THE LIMIT IN CAGLIARI

With the sea-breeze taking time to fill, the Italian team took the opportunity to execute down-range manoeuvres and impressed the on-water recon team with mainly dry tacks and gybes. However, the Luna Rossa day was about to take a turn as the recon team recounted saying: After the first roundup, the yacht appeared with significant windward heel and cant, almost immersing the inboard half of the starboard wing while still in sailing mode.
