Luna Rossa Challenge. AC 36

[strider470]

I'm just trying to build up some mess before the first race of the AC. There's an actual chance I'll be too busy crying after that. 

I too feel sad watching an opponent losing, out of sympathy.

Io sono ottimista. Tanto non abbiamo nulla da perdere contro i Kiwi, loro sono i super favoriti con tutta la pressione che ne consegue. La Prada Cup è già in bacheca ed è un traguardo fantastico per noi italiani. Ma daremo il 100% per finire il lavoro! Sicuramente saranno molto più veloci di noi, ma se per caso le prestazioni saranno simili... 

viuleeeenzaaaaa

Burling is definitely the TV face of the campaign but this guy is the critical factor:

Was one of the key signings for Oracle on the tri .    Have to be the most complete sailor one could meet and a bloody ripper of a bloke .

Più che altro mi sto rodendo di curiosità per sapere cosa uscirà dall'hangar di LR.

Non trovo ancora immagini: stanno finendo di armare l'albero di mezzana?

In teoria dovrebbero fare modifiche aerodinamiche "molto visibili" e cambiare qualcosa nei foil. In più, arriveranno vele nuove. E non è da trascurare la questione delle volanti, dato che a detta di Vascotto tenteranno fino all'ultimo di nasconderle, sembra diano un vantaggio aerodinamico importante.

I haven't heard of any physical threats to one of New Zealand's most successful sportsmen.

I was involved with one of the foreign teams during the 2002/3 cup, and the "loyal" campaign. There were several kiwis working for the team. Many of them received verbal abuse and even objects thrown at them. Even worse their wives and children were targeted at venues such as daycare. Very not cool. Disgusting.

Ehm.... the deck is completely different, this is a new configuration, with the boom exposed.

One of the AM guys I know had suggested it might be an option To drop the deck level on Prada, we will see..  

it would fit with Max saying the boat will be very visually different for the final 

Hmm on  second look I don’t think they have, the extra height is the crew fairings on the inside making it look like the deck is dropped

Prima Luna Rossa era molto bella, ma adesso è proprio figa! Aggressivissimo layout! :wub:

Luna Rossa was already beautiful, but now it's really amazing. Very aggressive layout.

 

[strider470]

If she is as fast as beautiful... ne vedremo delle belle

I was posting the same screen from the same video. Nope, no changes. Sorry, too much excitement seeing LR back in the water

We were talking about today, not back then.

This is still the main Luna Rossa thread  in Sailing Anarchy. For the pleasure of our non-Italian speaking friends!

He could buy anyone in the game. But he can't offer them what ETNZ can.

Apart from more money what is that?
