Luna Rossa is running two programmes in parallel. While a significant part of the team remains in Cagliari to oversee the development of the AC75 that will compete in the 38th America’s Cup, a smaller group relocates to Naples to familiarise itself with the city and with the racecourse that will host the Preliminary Regatta in September and the 2027 America’s Cup. In Naples, a temporary base is set up at the Palumbo shipyard. The Youth and Women’s teams begin sailing and are joined by the senior team for two two-boat sailing sessions in the Gulf of Naples.
